For many years now, Spain has been one of the leading European markets for solar PV but has yet to meet the same outcome for energy storage. Sungrow has high expectations for this to happen in the coming years.
There is a four-fold difference between how much energy storage the US Department of Energy (DOE) forecasted would be deployed by 2040 before the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and how much it now forecasts.
What is thought to be the largest vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) at a solar farm in Europe has been switched on by Enel Green Power in Mallorca, Spain.
Utility and independent power producer (IPP) Engie has started commercial operations of a 139MW/638MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in the northern region of Antofagasta, Chile.
The European Union’s new Batteries Regulation will be a driver of change in how the energy storage system industry thinks about procurement and managing batteries at the end of life.
