We catch up with SemperPower, developer and owner of the two largest BESS projects in the Netherlands, discussing its commercial model, challenges, grid, regulations and more.
Optimising co-located BESS is “much more complicated” than standalone and few companies can do it well, panellists on Day 2 of Solar Finance & Investment Europe (SFIE) said.
The UK battery storage market is suffering a “weak revenue environment”, with assets not able to participate in balancing the GB grid or replacing gas-fired generation to their fullest capability, according to Gresham House Energy Storage Fund.
Independent power producer Low Carbon has signed optimisation agreements with Habitat Energy, Flexitricity, and EDF across four battery energy storage systems (BESS) with a capacity of 95MW.
Sunrun has published the results of its Peak Power Rewards system, which saw residential solar systems deployed amongst its customers provide an average of 27MW of power to the California electric grid for 90 consecutive days.
The amount invested in energy storage soared globally during 2023, while battery manufacturing will require the biggest share of spending among clean energy technologies by 2030 to achieve net zero.
The energy regulator in France has ordered a reopening of a postponed auction for secondary reserve/aFRR services, citing an increase in the number of BESS certified to provide it.
Global demand for batteries for energy storage system (ESS) applications will grow 30% during this year, with the US leading the charge, LG Energy Solution has predicted.
