With a commitment to add 1GW each of new solar PV and wind each year, Turkey’s need for energy storage is coming sooner rather than later. 

A consortium of developers has achieved financial close for US$1.3bn in debt facilities for the Red Sea project, a huge resort under construction off the coast of Saudi Arabia which plans to have the largest off-grid battery energy storage system at 1,200-1,300MWh.

Creating a wider ecosystem of services and software is essential for system integrators to stay ahead, according to Julian Jansen at Fluence.

Asia-Pacific will overtake North America as the biggest utility-scale energy storage (UES) market by annual installed gigawatts (GW) by 2024-2025, according to a new report by Guidehouse Insights, one to two years later than in the firm’s previous forecasts.

The energy storage division of solar PV inverter manufacturer Sungrow has signed a 430MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) contract with Israel’s Enlight Renewable Energy. 

The Solar Media editorial team reflect on what’s proven to be a frenetic 12 months for the global solar PV and energy storage industries.

The new edition of our quarterly journal PV Tech Power, volume 29, is now available to download, including our comprehensive cover story on solar’s critical next decade.

In this episode of the Solar Media Podcast, we hear the verdict directly from those who were there at COP26.

Long-duration energy storage has a crucial role to play in decarbonising the global energy system sufficiently to avoid catastrophic climate change as long as its value can be unlocked. 

It’s the latest episode of the Solar Media Podcast, this time in collaboration with Solar Energy UK, as we look forward to COP26.
