The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has found battery energy storage systems (BESS) are the most reliable clean energy technology in the National Electricity Market (NEM).

China continued to drive global grid-scale BESS commissioning activity in July, as the technology approaches the global installed gigawatt (GW) capacity of pumped hydro.

A product launch at this year’s EESA Energy Storage Exhibition in China drew attention, discussion and even disbelief, reports Carrie Xiao.

Statera Energy has begun operating the biggest BESS project in the UK, connected to a National Grid substation that formerly supported two coal power plants.

Now is the moment for long-duration energy storage to become a key pillar of the energy transition, writes LDES Council CEO Julia Souder.

Long-term BESS offtake and PPA deals are clearly on the rise in Europe, but how are they evolving vi-a-vis structures, tenors and regional differences?

After imposing a moratorium on the development of new battery storage projects in January 2024, officials in Solano County, California, have adopted new zoning standards for the technology.

Energy storage system safety is being taken to new levels, as evidenced by the fire testing efforts of Chinese market players, writes Carrie Xiao.

Drew Bandhauer of Leeward Renewable Energy examines how changes in lithium-ion battery chemistries help manage fire safety risk and how industry standards are evolving in step with technological advances.

A report from the American Clean Power Association (ACP) and Aurora Energy Research indicates that the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) is projected to experience the highest percentage increase in peak load growth over the next decade among all Regional Transmission Organisations (RTOs).
