We hear from the BESS lead at RWE Renewables Europe & Australia ahead of the Energy Storage Summit Germany 2026, discussing the major trends, challenges and opportunities in the country’s grid-scale storage market.
We look at the iron-air battery technology of startup Ore Energy, including how it works and technology developments it is pursuing after a recent US$43 million fundraise.
The global battery energy storage market is entering a new phase, with shifting cell prices, intensifying competition and rapid international expansion reshaping the supplier landscape.
PJM has proposed a major overhaul of how it procures power capacity in response to surging data centre demand that has driven auction prices up more than 1,000% in two years and threatens to add US$70 per month to average household electricity bills by 2028.
As the battery storage industry matures through competition and scale, a significant push for efficiency is coming, writes Dr Kai-Philipp Kairies, CEO and co-founder of ACCURE Battery Intelligence.
