Despite lowering its forecasts due to US-led tariff and policy disruptions, BNEF says 2025 will be a record-breaking year for energy storage.

Wärtsilä Energy Storage’s new battery data analytics software platform aims to bring in-house what has until now been the domain of third-party providers.

A total of 49.4GW/136.5GWh of grid-scale BESS came online in the first nine months of the year, up 36% compared to the same period in 2024.

More than 30 stakeholder organisations in the US energy storage value chain have formed a new association to represent common interests.

BYD has presented its latest grid-scale BESS product, pushing energy density even further to its limits, while Eve and Sunwoda have progressed commercialisation of high capacity battery cells.

As hybridisation and changing grid and market conditions redefine the scope of asset performance management, renewables project services provider E3’s Anouk Hut looks at the growing importance of physics-based modelling and integrated digital infrastructure.

Emerging tech must prove it can outcompete the incumbent, writes Sightline Climate analyst Lukas Karapin-Springorum, outlining the state of play in LDES technology today.

Last summer, a Texas energy storage operator watched in frustration as their battery system missed a golden trading opportunity during a peak demand window.

The government of South Africa has secured nearly 1.7GW/11GWh of grid-scale BESS capacity via various procurement programmes, though questions remain around their integrity and deliverability.

The market share of vertically integrated battery cell and BESS companies has fallen since 2023, market intelligence firm Rho Motion said.
