Commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage can significantly lower electricity costs, increase efficiency, and aid decarbonisation, but customers’ safety concerns must be addressed.
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).
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.
Governor of Maryland, US, Wes Moore, has announced a US$2 million initiative to make battery storage more accessible for residents and business owners in the state.
