The Australian government has officially launched the AU$500 million Battery Breakthrough Initiative (BBI).

Singaporean renewable energy developer Blueleaf Energy has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Chemsain Sustainability to jointly explore developing a portfolio of up to 3GW of solar PV and battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Malaysia.

AGL Energy has deployed approximately AU$900 million toward BESS and renewables in Australia during the fiscal year ending June 2025.

The Australian government has appointed multinational consumer credit agency Equifax Australasia Credit Ratings to design, develop, implement, and operate a new Developer Rating Scheme.

We hear from US-based lithium sulfur battery firm Lyten executives about the firm’s deal to take ownership of European battery firm Northvolt.

The government of Indonesia has launched a programme that aims to build 100GW of solar PV and 320GWh of BESS in the coming years, mostly distributed across smaller projects in rural areas.

India’s ambitious drive for renewable energy has accelerated the need for energy storage, but there are many factors to success, writes Charith Konda of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).

Independent power producer (IPP) Africa REN has commissioned a solar and storage project in Senegal, which it claimed as the first of its kind in West Africa.

One of the world’s major players in solar PV is also becoming a well-known name in the energy storage system (ESS) space.

Energy storage developer and system integrator Energy Vault has acquired the 125MW/1,000MWh Stoney Creek BESS in New South Wales, Australia.
