The first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) with grid-forming capabilities in Germany was inaugurated a few days ago.

The value of developers and optimisers in the BESS lifecycle, thinking about long-term risk and KPIs for maximising the asset have been key themes at the Battery Asset Management Summit UK & Ireland 2025.

A flurry of grid-scale BESS project progress totalling more than a combined 1.5GWh in the past week, from Renalfa in Bulgaria, Engie in Romania, Nala Renewables in Finland and Metlen in Greece.

At RE+ 2025, the Chinese energy solution provider discusses modular design innovations, efficiency gains, and navigating an uncertain policy landscape.

We catch up with the CFO and co-founder of German BESS own-operate platform Terra One, after its €150 million (US$173 million) mezzanine financing to scale up in Europe’s hottest energy storage market.

Thermal energy storage (TES) technology company Kyoto Group’s latest project will displace the use of natural gas at a corn processing plant in Hungary, Europe.

A total of 49.4GW/136.5GWh of grid-scale BESS came online in the first nine months of the year, up 36% compared to the same period in 2024.

BESS asset management in the UK has moved beyond the rudimentary ‘project delivery and basic O&M’ approach, a speaker at the upcoming Battery Asset Management Summit UK & Ireland explained in a Q&A.

Germany has awarded contracts to 490MW of solar-plus-storage projects in its latest “innovation” auction for co-located renewables.
