We hear from S&P Global Commodity Insights analysts and a former Fluence executive about the major trends shaping the competitive landscape of system integrators in the BESS industry.
France-headquartered IPP and utility EDF has secured financial close for the second and third of a three-project BESS portfolio in South Africa, projects that won long-term contracts under the country’s BESIPPPP scheme.
Global decarbonisation targets are impossible without increasing the pace of long-duration energy storage (LDES) adoption 50 times over by 2040, according to the LDES Council.
Industry sources including ex-Fluence executives discuss what the next era for the rapidly-evolving BESS technology landscape looks like, including the move to AC blocks and changing battery cell sizes.
National deployment targets should be set for energy storage technologies, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Coalition for Action has said.
Saudi Arabia’s government entity tasked with procuring electricity generation projects has commenced the qualification process for a 2GW/8GWh battery storage tender.
CATL is the world’s largest lithium-ion manufacturer, and a major player in BESS too, and made headlines earlier this year when it claimed five years of ‘zero degradation’ for its new grid-scale product Tener.
ACWA Power has agreed to deploy wind energy and battery capacity to help power what is claimed will be the Middle East and Africa region’s ‘first battery gigafactory.’
Tier-1 battery manufacturer EVE Energy will be the first to mass-produce lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells with more than 600Ah capacity for stationary applications.
