Industry sources including ex-Fluence executives discuss what the next era for the rapidly-evolving BESS technology landscape looks like, including the move to AC blocks and changing battery cell sizes.
Developer Rolwind has won a favourable environmental impact assessment (EIA) result for a 200MW/800MWh BESS in Spain, the first standalone one to do so and the largest in the country, it claimed.
A group of investors and utilities from Switzerland and Germany have inaugurated a 100MW/200MWh BESS project in Bavaria, Germany, deployed by Fluence – concurrent with separate announcements from S4 Energy and EnBW.
National deployment targets should be set for energy storage technologies, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Coalition for Action has said.
The energy storage industry is seeing a significant shift “toward deeper integration of battery analytics into daily operations,” the CEO of ACCURE has said.
Capacity market (CM) auctions have concluded in Italy and Belgium and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects won the lion’s share of new contracts.
The energy ministries of Bulgaria and Romania have both revealed the results of EU-backed tenders for renewables and energy storage, with gigawatts of energy storage being supported.
CATL is the world’s largest lithium-ion manufacturer, and a major player in BESS too, and made headlines earlier this year when it claimed five years of ‘zero degradation’ for its new grid-scale product Tener.
