February 2025 saw around 4.5GW/10.5GWh of grid-scale BESS deployments globally, with China continuing to account for the majority but Europe increasing its share from January.

Energy storage technologies must have the best protections available from hacking threats, writes Adile Ajaja, director of operations, IT and cybersecurity at EVLO.

Energy-Storage.news proudly presents our sponsored webinar with Clean Horizons on the impacts of grid connection limitations on battery energy storage system (BESS) development.

Florida’s largest utility, Florida Power & Light (FPL), is ramping up its energy storage ambitions across the Sunshine State, with plans to deploy over 2.2GW of new BESS between 2026 and 2027.

We hear from startup Volklec which, like another European battery company Elinor, will build its batteries with a Chinese technology and manufacturing partner. They both say this will get around the challenges that ultimately doomed Europe’s first wave of battery startups, with Northvolt today declaring bankruptcy in Sweden.

The European Commission has given the go-ahead to a scheme in Czechia that will support the deployment of 1.5GWh of energy storage projects.

Ensuring high levels of system performance and availability are top priorities for battery storage professionals, and data plays a key role.

Ahead of the Energy Storage Summit Australia 2025, which will take place next week (18-19 March) in Sydney, we take a look at some of the key debates set to take centre stage at the event.

Jupiter Power’s proposal to construct a standalone BESS in Westfield, Massachusetts is facing mounting opposition from residents and local officials.
