Developer AMEA Power will collaborate with Trinasolar and Energy China ZTPC to install battery storage at a 500MW solar PV plant in Egypt, Africa.

Another year draws to a close, allowing us to reflect on the fantastic energy storage content from Solar Media’s journal PV Tech Power.

Volume 41 of our downstream journal, PV Tech Power, is out now and available to Energy-Storage.news Premium subscribers.

On 12 December 2024, the second Hithium Eco-Day, themed ‘The Freedom of Energy, The Revolution of Life,’ was held successfully in Beijing, China.

Envision Energy has been contracted to supply battery energy storage systems (BESS) for EDF Group’s three-project Oasis 1 portfolio in South Africa.

Global average lithium-ion battery prices have fallen 20% to US$115 per kWh this year, going below US$100 for electric vehicles (EVs), BloombergNEF said.

We get the reaction from other BESS suppliers, consultancies, research firms, optimisers, investors and IPPs to BYD launching a BESS using sodium-ion battery cells, a technology many see as a potential competitor to lithium-ion.

A list of bids for the third window of South Africa’s Battery Energy Storage Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (BESIPPPP) has been revealed.

Chinese EV giant BYD has launched what an executive claimed is the ‘world’s first high-performance’ sodium-ion BESS product, using its proprietary form factor Long Blade Battery cell.

Callum McGuinn, partner at European intellectual property (IP) firm Mewburn Ellis, rounds up the major advancements in battery cell technology that BESS industry sources should be aware of.
