A 10MW/10MWh battery storage system at a wind park in the Netherlands has been relocated to a new site as part of a repowering project.

Queensland achieved a new battery discharge record on 30 March 2025, with a maximum instantaneous battery discharge of 474.1MW at 17:55.

The system integration arm of SMA Solar and utility RheinEnergie have partnered to deploy BESS projects in Germany, with construction about to launch on the first.

ESN Premium hears from Tom Best, COO at Eku Energy, what it takes to comply with Australia’s Generator Performance Standards.

Sharon Santhosh, energy storage applications engineer at Wärtsilä, talks all things BESS noise, including enclosure design, the various mitigating measures engineers can implement, and implications of BESS technology developments further down the line.

Allegro Energy has revealed what it claims is Australia’s first locally manufactured microemulsion flow battery (MeFB) suited for LDES.

A total of 11.9GW of energy storage across all scales and technologies was installed in Europe in 2024, bringing cumulative installations to 89GW.

Suitable energy storage project sites are quickly being snapped up in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM), with a premium on grid location.  

BloombergNEF (BNEF) has found that utility-scale BESS uptake in Australia could increase eightfold to 18GW in 2035, up from 2.3GW in 2024.
