Commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage can significantly lower electricity costs, increase efficiency, and aid decarbonisation, but customers’ safety concerns must be addressed.
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.
AMEA Power has completed commissioning of the first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Egypt, ahead of the start of commercial operations.
June 2025 saw a total of 7.96GW/22.17GWh of grid-scale BESS enter commercial operations across 109 projects, with over half of that being in China, while the overall first half of the year saw substantial growth.
Inverter and BESS firm Sungrow has launched its latest grid-scale energy storage product offering beyond the 20-foot form factor, following in the footsteps of other providers.
