Now is the moment for long-duration energy storage to become a key pillar of the energy transition, writes LDES Council CEO Julia Souder.

Commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage can significantly lower electricity costs, increase efficiency, and aid decarbonisation, but customers’ safety concerns must be addressed.

Hithium has partnered with The Imperial Electric Company to deliver 1GWh of energy storage across Pakistan’s residential and C&I sectors.

Energy storage system safety is being taken to new levels, as evidenced by the fire testing efforts of Chinese market players, writes Carrie Xiao.

State-owned power producer NTPC has issued a tender for battery energy storage system (BESS) projects at thermal power plants in Uttar Pradesh, India.

India’s ambitious drive for renewable energy has accelerated the need for energy storage, but there are many factors to success, writes Charith Konda of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).

One of the world’s major players in solar PV is also becoming a well-known name in the energy storage system (ESS) space.

CATL, the world’s biggest lithium-ion OEM, saw flat ESS revenues in the first half of the year, but the extent to which this can be blamed on the increased US-China tariffs, if at all, is far from clear.

Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co (MSEDCL) has launched a multi-gigawatt battery storage tender supported by Viability Gap Funding (VGF).

As the BESS industry matures, the trend towards a closening relationship between OEMs and project owners looks set to continue, but system integrators will continue to have a role to play.
