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

Energy storage and battery market experts speak with Energy-Storage.news about current and possible supply chain and downstream impacts of the US and Israel’s war on Iran.

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

Thermal management means cost, complexity and aux power consumption for battery storage projects, writes William Lauwers of Enertis Applus+.

Over 1.4GW/3.4GWh of grid-scale BESS came online in Europe, likely its best month ever, accounting for almost a fifth of global figures.

What does the combination of regulatory, supply chain and market pressures mean for the cost of building large-scale BESS this year?

We analyse and compare the metrics of the various LFP battery cells of 587Ah and above, from leading providers CATL, Eve Energy, Hithium, Rept Battero, CALB and BYD.

BESS safety issues become all too visible when it’s already too late, but a considered approach through the full lifecycle can mitigate these and many other risks, writes Sunny Rai from Intertek.

Energy-Storage.news proudly presents our webinar with Fluence, ‘Grid-forming: From niche application to standard requirement.’

Ex-Fluence alumnus Marek Kubik sat down with Energy-Storage.news at last month’s Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London to talk big picture BESS technology trends, including energy density, LDES and sodium-ion.
