System integrator Alfen and battery company CATL have struck a 5GWh partnership for sodium-ion BESS deployments in Europe.

There’s been a flurry of project completions across Europe this past week, with projects completed in Germany, Estonia, Belgium, Denmark and Bulgaria by RheinEnergie/SMA, BSP, BStor, European Energy and Sunotec respectively, totalling nearly 700MWh of capacity.

We analyse recent details that have emerged on battery OEM CATL’s zero-degradation BESS technology, which was first announced two years ago.

A shift is happening in Europe’s commercial & industrial (C&I) energy storage market, and integrated energy storage solutions provider Hithium is addressing this demand with a purpose-built 4-hour solution. 

Some 9.1GW/33.5GWh of large-scale BESS came online globally last month, with Saudi Arabia accounting for over one-third of the figure.

ESN Premium speaks with Ben Potter at CO2 Battery startup Energy Dome about the company’s latest project with Google and why the market is turning in favour of long-duration energy storage (LDES).

Energy companies are accelerating battery storage deployment in Germany, with TotalEnergies and Kyon, Envision Energy and Ju:niz, and Flower announcing significant project developments and acquisitions.
