In this interview with ESN Premium, Keith Lovegrove of ITP Thermal warns that Australia’s energy storage sector risks over-reliance on lithium-ion batteries.

The US clean energy manufacturing industry is starting to undergo a wholesale restructuring and recapitalisation as companies look to reduce their exposure to numerous risks, including FEOC. 

Lithium-ion battery cell degradation is one of the things that makes BESS a more complicated asset to manage than other clean energy technologies.

Trina Storage’s Warrick Stapleton discusses APAC’s shift to 500MWh+ BESS, open ecosystem approach, and Australia’s role as a regional testbed.

We hear from industry sources about the significance of the CATL-HyperStrong sodium-ion BESS battery deal. Does it make a real turning point for the technology as an alternative to lithium-ion?

With CATL and HyperStrong’s 60GWh sodium-ion battery deal announcement yesterday, it’s an ideal time to look at the different sodium-ion cell chemistries and battery products available for BESS today.

We look at the potential of flow batteries for LDES and compare the leading providers’ offerings and trajectories.

Building BESS is complicated, with myriad considerations around supplier contracts, site acceptance tests, data analysis, interface between different contractors.

Fluence’s chief growth officer, Jeff Monday, and Australia strategy lead, Sam Markham, discuss hyperscale opportunities, grid-forming evolution, and the company’s high-density Smartstack deployment plans.

How can the industry prepare for when the first wave of utility-scale BESS projects begin to reach end-of-life?
