With AI at its core, Chinese solar and storage firm Sigenergy is redefining the industry’s next chapter with a state-of-the-art gigafactory.

The price of BESS has fallen steadily in the past few years, but recent events look set to slow or event reverse that trend at least in the short term. Video interviewees at last month’s Energy Storage Summit 2026 shared their views on the topic.

Australia’s New South Wales now requires 56GWh of storage by 2030, amounting to 40% more than projected just six months ago.

A total of 6.9GW/17.1GWh of grid-scale BESS came online last month, as per the most recent figures from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.

Executives from BW ESS, R.Power and Econergy, IPPs building large-scale BESS across Europe and Australia, recently sat down for video interviews at the Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London.

Professor Tim Nelson has urged energy storage developers and market participants to actively engage in implementing sweeping market reforms.

Western system integrators face a continual ‘squeeze’ in where they add value in BESS and may struggle to keep up with the speed of technology innovation from China, Rept’s Andy Tang said in a video interview with Energy-Storage.news recently.

A joint venture between TotalEnergies and Eren Groupe has submitted a 6GWh solar-plus-storage project for environmental approval in Australia’s Northern Territory (NT).

A 500MW/1,000MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) with grid-forming inverters has gone into commercial operation in Cambodia.

Hamilton Locke partner Matt Baumgurtel warns of a seismic shift as distributed energy resources with “zero marginal cost” emerge.
