Study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Energy Initiative has found energy storage can be a key enabler for the clean energy transition.  

Battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity in Italy reached 587MW/1,227MWh in the first three months of 2022, of which 977MWh is distributed energy storage, according to the national renewables association, ANIE Rinnovabili.

The US government Department of Energy has issued a Request for Information as it prepares to rollout a package worth more than half a billion dollars to support development and commercialisation of long-duration energy storage.

Rising demand for batteries, largely coming from the electric vehicle (EV) sector, means raw materials prices continue to be volatile.

Battery storage is leading provider of frequency control ancillary services (FCAS) in the National Electricity Market.

A leaked draft version the policy strategy designed to liberate the European Union from ties to Russian fossil fuel imports, includes no mention of energy storage.

European Union must develop coherent strategy on energy storage to achieve decarbonisation goals and end dependency on Russian fossil fuels.

A liquid coolant leak caused thermal runaway in battery cells which started a fire at the 300MW/450MWh Victorian Big Battery in Australia.

Industrial battery storage systems can lower electricity costs for the facilities they are installed at, but could also help manage the cost of power for all consumers.

Energy storage deployment in the US is growing at a phenomenal pace. But the appetite for storage is much greater than the ability to build, and getting grid interconnection rights is often the biggest hurdle.
