Energy group BayWa r.e. has been selected to implement a project in France combining a solar PV plant, a battery energy storage system (BESS) and – if enough offtakers can be found – green hydrogen.
The construction of battery cell factories catering specifically for stationary energy storage means competition for supply with the EV sector will cool off in the next couple of years.
AMTE Power, a UK-based manufacturer of batteries, has said its new sodium-ion cells are close to being ready to send out into the field for testing and validation.
Green hydrogen projects have progressed in the Netherlands and India, the latter of which is being combined with a battery energy storage system (BESS).
