On day one of the Energy Storage Summit Australia 2025, the audience heard that although 2 to 4-hour duration battery energy storage systems (BESS) are favourable, longer durations are starting to challenge this.

“BESS project financing is rapidly evolving,” says Niall Brady of Australia’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).

Energy storage technologies must have the best protections available from hacking threats, writes Adile Ajaja, director of operations, IT and cybersecurity at EVLO.

Thimo Mueller of AEMO Services, believes the value of energy storage in Australia will be higher than investor expectations.

We hear from startup Volklec which, like another European battery company Elinor, will build its batteries with a Chinese technology and manufacturing partner. They both say this will get around the challenges that ultimately doomed Europe’s first wave of battery startups, with Northvolt today declaring bankruptcy in Sweden.

Ensuring high levels of system performance and availability are top priorities for battery storage professionals, and data plays a key role.

Ahead of the Energy Storage Summit Australia 2025, which will take place next week (18-19 March) in Sydney, we take a look at some of the key debates set to take centre stage at the event.

Tim Buckley of the Climate Energy Finance speaks to ESN Premium about how Australia-Chinese relations could provide an energy storage boom.
