Cubico Sustainable Investments has formed a joint venture (JV) with a local developer in Italy to develop 1GW-plus of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.
While more energy-dense BESS units mean packing more into smaller footprints, they may have additional implications for noise and fire safety, a developer source told Energy-Storage.news.
Independent power producer (IPP) Neoen has launched construction on a 93.9MW/93.9MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Sweden, the largest in the country.
We catch up with SemperPower, developer and owner of the two largest BESS projects in the Netherlands, discussing its commercial model, challenges, grid, regulations and more.
UK energy storage fund manager Harmony Energy has said revenues in 2023 were significantly lower than 2022, postponing its dividend, after peer Gresham House said the same thing earlier in the week.
Optimising co-located BESS is “much more complicated” than standalone and few companies can do it well, panellists on Day 2 of Solar Finance & Investment Europe (SFIE) said.
The European Commission is targeting 90% renewable electricity by 2040 in the EU and sees energy storage as one of several key areas of investment to get there, according to a leaked draft.
Energy density is becoming a key tool in optimising the economics of battery energy storage projects as suitable sites become harder to find. Ben Echeverria and Josh Tucker from engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Burns & McDonnell explore some of the considerations of designing projects on constrained land.
The energy regulator in France has ordered a reopening of a postponed auction for secondary reserve/aFRR services, citing an increase in the number of BESS certified to provide it.
