It’s still to early to see the financial impact on energy storage suppliers in the wake of Trump’s tariffs and legislation, writes Solar Media analyst Charlotte Gisbourne, analysing their H1 revenues.

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.

Global energy storage technology and energy software services provider Fluence and ACE Engineering have opened a new automated battery storage manufacturing facility in Vietnam’s Bac Giang Province.

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.

Singaporean renewable energy developer Blueleaf Energy has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Chemsain Sustainability to jointly explore developing a portfolio of up to 3GW of solar PV and battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Malaysia.

The government of Indonesia has launched a programme that aims to build 100GW of solar PV and 320GWh of BESS in the coming years, mostly distributed across smaller projects in rural areas.

Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), the main electricity company in Sri Lanka, has issued an RFP for large-scale BESS.

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