Last summer, a Texas energy storage operator watched in frustration as their battery system missed a golden trading opportunity during a peak demand window.

The market share of vertically integrated battery cell and BESS companies has fallen since 2023, market intelligence firm Rho Motion said.

Bahraini, Chinese, Egyptian and Emirati groups have agreed to develop a new manufacturing facility in Egypt.

Hithium will supply two projects in Saudi Arabia with ‘the world’s first mass-produced kiloampere-hour (kAh) cells’.

Now is the moment for long-duration energy storage to become a key pillar of the energy transition, writes LDES Council CEO Julia Souder.

Commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage can significantly lower electricity costs, increase efficiency, and aid decarbonisation, but customers’ safety concerns must be addressed.

One of the world’s major players in solar PV is also becoming a well-known name in the energy storage system (ESS) space.

AMEA Power has completed commissioning of the first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Egypt, ahead of the start of commercial operations.

June 2025 saw a total of 7.96GW/22.17GWh of grid-scale BESS enter commercial operations across 109 projects, with over half of that being in China, while the overall first half of the year saw substantial growth.

The financial close of two significant large-scale projects in Egypt could mark progress for the country’s nascent energy storage sector.
