Quality control in the supply chain for battery energy storage systems is becoming increasingly critical, write Vicente Parra and Carlos Sandoval.

Chile, China and Australia drove global BESS deployments in April, a month which saw nearly 9GWh of grid-scale capacity enter commercial operations.

Goldwind discusses how its unmatched system-level expertise from the renewables space makes it ideally placed to solve the key industry challenges it sees emerging in energy storage.

Mining consortium Kamoa Copper and IPP CrossBoundary Energy have agreed a PPA providing baseload renewable energy for one of the largest copper mines globally, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Donald Trump has announced his sweeping ‘Liberation Day’ global tariffs, with another new China tariff resulting in an effective doubling of the price of batteries and BESS imported from there to the US.
