A panel of BESS industry experts discussed the ins and outs of long-term service agreements (LTSAs) at the Battery Asset Management Summit UK & Ireland 2026 yesterday. 

Europe is no longer betting on second-life repurposing of EV batteries for stationary BESS applications, and that is not a bad thing, argues David Oudsandji, CEO of Voltfang.

Alberto Valenzuela discusses ahead of Energy Storage Summit Latin America about Mexico’s growing interest in renewables and energy storage, and the factors driving this growth.

Another edition of our BESS Industry Buzz, taking a look at what’s got industry people talking in the corridors of social media. 

Energy-Storage.news Premium speaks with Freeman Hall, CEO of second-life BESS firm B2U Storage Solutions.

AI data centres have energy and power requirements demanding enough to potentially stretch lithium-ion beyond its versatile limits, writes Intertek CEA market intelligence consultant Aaron Marks.

The first half of the year saw mixed results among China’s leading ESS suppliers, though generally the industry is still performing strongly, writes PV Tech ESS analyst Charlotte Gisbourne. 

Hithium’s recent sodium-ion battery and BESS product launch is the latest in a long line of announcements showing an inflection point for the battery chemistry. But how do its new products compare to other sodium-ion systems out there, and to its own LFP offering?  

Inaccurate state of charge (SOC) measurements can cost battery energy storage system (BESS) operators up to 15% in lost revenue, a persistent issue despite advances in monitoring technology.

BESS operators should be planning their projects against different locational price and charging regimes of the future rather than solely against the current revenue opportunities.
