North American lithium-ion battery recycling specialist Li-Cycle has seen a significant increase in battery energy storage system (BESS) materials in its feedstock.

Fluence has reported a year-on-year fall in quarterly revenues and lowered its 2025 guidance but sees ‘robust’ global demand for battery storage.  

Battery storage played a crucial role in the Baltic region’s switch from Russia over to the Continental European grid over the weekend, coinciding with Lithuania launching a €100 million storage support scheme.

The energy storage market in Italy has unique characteristics that mean more risk-averse investment funds will be able to enter, but upcoming auctions could be very competitive, driving down clearing prices, a director at consultancy Timera Energy said.

Modo Energy has said that battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) earned an average of AU$148,000/MW (US$92,810/MW) in 2024, a 45% increase year-on-year.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has published information and recommendations for battery management systems (BMS) in stationary energy storage applications.

The government of Cyprus has published guidelines for a scheme to support the deployment of approximately 150MW/350MWh of energy storage.  

NYSE-listed firm Freyr has cancelled its plans for a battery manufacturing plant in Georgia, US, following its pivot to becoming a US solar company.

Modo Energy’s Wendel Hortop tells Energy-Storage.news that over 4GW of utility-scale BESS on the NEM will be in commercial operation by 2025.

Tesla has inked an MoU with the Western Australian government to develop a battery re-manufacturing facility in Collie.
