Siemens Energy will provide the technology for a project in Ireland combining a synchronous condenser and a battery energy storage system (BESS) of 160MWh.
Energy storage system (ESS) executives from Northvolt and Fluence discussed the battery and battery storage manufacturing ecosystem in Europe in separate interviews whilst at the Energy Storage Summit Central Eastern Europe (CEE) recently.
UK battery storage investor Harmony Energy Income Trust (HEIT) has energised two grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) assets, including one of the same size as its flagship ‘largest BESS project in Europe’.
The Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) energy storage market is in its infancy but has the potential to leapfrog more developed markets with Poland in a leading position, said executives from Fluence.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the Nordics are seeing “extremely attractive revenues”, Finland-based optimiser Capalo AI said, as developers SENS and Ilmatar announced 70MW of projects in Sweden.
Renewable energy developer BayWa r.e. has got the green light to develop and build a 3-hour duration battery energy storage system (BESS) in the UK, set to come online in 2026.
The energy storage market in Poland is “not an undersupplied one”, has higher financing costs and there is a two-year window in which you need to get in to capitalise on the opportunities, said renewable energy developer and IPP Aquila Clean Energy.
