AST, the transmission system operator (TSO) of Latvia, has selected Rolls-Royce Solutions for two battery energy storage system (BESS) projects totalling 80MW of power and 160MWh of capacity.

The panel – Where are the Commercial Opportunities for Co-Location? – was almost full to capacity on the afternoon of the first day of the Summit.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) were awarded 655.16MW in the UK’s T-1 Capacity Market Auction for delivery year 2024/25, which cleared yesterday (20 February) after eight rounds at £35.79 (US$45.17)/kW/year.

Battery storage systems are “perhaps the most complex energy asset to optimise” from a market perspective, but the UK industry is handling those challenges.

Telecoms firm Elisa Corporation has signed a contract to bring its distributed energy storage (DES) solution to Finnish mobile networks. 

Battery energy storage system (BESS) integrator Powin will provide developer-operator Pulse Clean Energy with 50MW/110MWh of its Stack750 energy storage system for a UK project.

The European Union’s Battery Passport, which will make all of the components of devices placed into the market traceable, will be a useful tool for investors in energy storage, Energy-Storage.news has heard.

A recent report from the Clean Energy Associates found that system-level defects accounted for nearly half of all defects found in battery energy storage systems (BESS), of which two issues related to increased risk of fire.
