As the year draws to a close, we look back at some of the brilliant Guest Blog contributions published on Energy-Storage.news in the last 12 months.

We continue our look back at 2024 with a selection of our sponsored webinars broadcast throughout the year.

Following similar pieces the last two years, we look at the biggest energy storage projects, lithium and non-lithium, that we’ve reported on in 2024.

As we welcome the end of another exciting, if sometimes challenging year, here are the most-read news stories on Energy-Storage.news for 2024.

Another year draws to a close, allowing us to reflect on the fantastic energy storage content from Solar Media’s journal PV Tech Power.

Global average lithium-ion battery prices have fallen 20% to US$115 per kWh this year, going below US$100 for electric vehicles (EVs), BloombergNEF said.

We get the reaction from other BESS suppliers, consultancies, research firms, optimisers, investors and IPPs to BYD launching a BESS using sodium-ion battery cells, a technology many see as a potential competitor to lithium-ion.

A consortium of development finance institutions led by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and IPP Gulf Energy have signed a US$820 million loan agreement for a solar and storage portfolio in Thailand.

Chinese EV giant BYD has launched what an executive claimed is the ‘world’s first high-performance’ sodium-ion BESS product, using its proprietary form factor Long Blade Battery cell.

Callum McGuinn, partner at European intellectual property (IP) firm Mewburn Ellis, rounds up the major advancements in battery cell technology that BESS industry sources should be aware of.
