South Carolina public utility company Santee Cooper has applied for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Convenience and Neccessity (CECPCN) with the state’s public service commission (PSC), for its 300MW/1,200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS).
Shifting dynamics in the US’ BESS industry could mean that Chinese batteries are not even needed within the foreseeable future, a local consultant told Energy-Storage.news.
We caught up with developer and IPP Greenvolt Power’s head of storage Antonio Montoto Rojo about the recent MACSE auction in Italy, where it won a contract for a 75MW BESS.
European BESS news from project owners Premier Energy Group, Verbund, Eco Stor, Ingrid Capacity, Ric Energy, Ganfeng Lithium, EP Group, RWE and Giga Storage, securing acquisitions, financings and route-to-market (RTM) deals for multiple gigawatts of capacity this past week.
A joint venture (JV) between EDF and developer AME has begun construction of large-scale battery and solar photovoltaic (PV) projects in Chile, with 2GWh storage capacity.
With Document No. 136 scrapping the mandatory energy storage allocation requirement for renewable energy and the rollout of policies governing new energy storage, China’s energy storage market is going through a period of dynamic change.
The utility-scale battery storage market in Italy is drawing huge interest and development activity, writes Solar Media Market Research analyst Josh Cornes.
