China has published a national plan to promote large-scale energy storage facilities, encouraging investment and broader participation in the electricity market.
Chinese PV module manufacturer Trina Solar has received the green light from the Victoria government in Australia to build a 500MW/1,000MWh battery energy storage system (BESS).
Australia’s Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) has awarded 4.13GW/15.37GWh of battery storage capacity in its third tender round, exceeding initial targets and attracting 135GWh of bids.
Residential and C&I energy storage provider Turbo Energy has secured a major order from an unnamed industrial group in the construction industry in Spain.
Ignitis Group and Olana Energy have progressed BESS projects in Lithuania closer to construction, with the order of equipment and final investment decision (FID) taken, respectively.
President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., was in attendance as the country’s first ‘baseload’ power plant to combine solar PV and battery storage officially went into action.
Utility and power firms Axpo and energieUri will together deploy two BESS projects in Switzerland with technology provided by system integrator Fluence.
China again dominated global battery storage deployments in August, accounting for two-thirds of what came online, but Europe, North America and Oceania/Australia had good months too.
