System integrator HyperStrong will deploy sodium-ion BESS first in its home market of China, before bringing a product to the international markets, its president of technology said.
Eni Storage Systems has broken ground on a gigafactory in Italy set to build LFP cells for energy storage applications, while Chinese firm Hithium has won an €80 million grant from the Spanish government for a battery and BESS plant there.
Chinese system integrators have cemented their dominance of the global battery energy storage system (BESS) market, capturing 76% of global market share in 2025.
We sat down with Lars Stephan, EMEA director of marketing, policy and public affairs for system integrator Fluence, to discuss energy storage, data centres and cybersecurity at Intersolar last month.
As hardware margins compress and consolidation accelerates, smart appliance brand’s energy division argues that intelligent software—not just batteries—will determine who survives
A roundup of recent large-scale BESS activity in the UK, with IPPs ContourGlobal, Zenobē and Revera buying or taking FID on three separate projects totalling 3.6GWh of capacity.
State of charge (SOC) is on the face of it a straightforward measurement for batteries and BESS. But in reality, it’s highly complex and under- or over-reporting still happens in the industry, leading to under-performance and losses in revenue.
Tank storage company Vopak has marked its energy into the BESS sector with a final investment decision (FID) for a 200MW/800MWh BESS in the Netherlands, which recently entered into a first-of-its-kind agreement with TSO TenneT.
A lot of work and thought still needs to go into maximising the potential for co-location of solar and BESS technology, panellists at the Clean Power 2030 Summit said yesterday (30 June).
