A product launch at this year’s EESA Energy Storage Exhibition in China drew attention, discussion and even disbelief, reports Carrie Xiao.

Commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage can significantly lower electricity costs, increase efficiency, and aid decarbonisation, but customers’ safety concerns must be addressed.

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

Hithium has partnered with The Imperial Electric Company to deliver 1GWh of energy storage across Pakistan’s residential and C&I sectors.

Energy storage system safety is being taken to new levels, as evidenced by the fire testing efforts of Chinese market players, writes Carrie Xiao.

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

Australian network company Ausgrid has commissioned its largest community battery to date, a 5MW system in Cooranbong in the Central Coast region of New South Wales.

Viridi Parente has announced its battery energy storage systems (BESS) products meet the current Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) requirements as expanded under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB).

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.
