Enlight Renewable Energy is expanding its Gecama Wind Project in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, by integrating solar PV and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

The Capacity Market (CM) in Germany will offer a new potential revenue stream for BESS, but not all developers and owner-operators are convinced.

A consortium of lenders, including state-owned bank Oschadbank, has agreed to Ukraine’s biggest financing for battery energy storage system (BESS) projects to date.

A pinch under 6GWh of grid-scale BESS was approved for construction in the UK last month, bringing the total with planning consent to nearly 130GWh.

Rachel Locquet of Clean Horizon explores dynamics shaping Europe’s main markets and how to make the best decisions for maximising revenues.

Germany is regularly described as Europe’s hottest market for energy storage, but its current regulatory framework is holding it back and changes down the line are also a concern.

Battery energy storage system (BESS) developer Giga Storage has closed financing on a 300MW/1,200MWh project in the Netherlands.

RedEarth has partnered with China’s Nebula Electronics and ambibox to develop what it claims is the world’s first ‘Microgrid-in-a-Box’ (MIB).

Spain’s Ministry of the Environment has formally launched its latest financial support scheme for energy storage, aiming to kickstart the deployment of 2.5-3.5GW of projects.

Spanish independent power producer (IPP) Grenergy has planned to invest €3.5 billion (US$3.9 billion) to increase its energy storage and hybrid portfolio by 2027.
