Terralayr has made headlines recently with its BESS aggregation tolling platform, executing long-term tolls in Germany with big power firms RWE and Vattenfall, but how unique are these deals in reality?
Utility and independent power producer (IPP) Engie has started commercial operations of its 48MW/264MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) Capricornio project in the northern region of Antofagasta, Chile.
Owner-operator Eco Stor has connected what it claimed is the largest BESS in Germany to the grid, while its former majority owner is going to build a BESS in Finland.
Germany is regularly described as Europe’s hottest market for energy storage, but its current regulatory framework is holding it back and changes down the line are also a concern.
Utility and power generation firm RWE will trade 50MW/100MWh of BESS capacity in Germany from the virtual aggregation platform of startup Terralayr under a five-year agreement.
