The decision to slash energy storage de-rating factors for the next capacity market auction in Poland will not be the death knell of the market, and may actually have some positives, project developers and IPPs said.
Flexibility will be a critical piece of the grid of the future and energy storage will play a central role in that, keynote speakers said at Solar Media’s Energy Storage Summit Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) 2024 today.
A recent fire event at a large-scale battery storage project owned by California utility San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) was dealt with effectively and in an exemplary manner.
A coalition of battery storage developers, including Zenobē, Eelpower, Harmony Energy and Field, has penned a letter to the UK government and National Grid Electricity System Operator (National Grid ESO).
Developer LC energy has won an irrevocable permit for a 500MW/2,000MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in the Netherlands, one of the largest in the country to do so.
Georgia Power has secured a battery and equipment supply agreement (BESA) with Tesla for a 500MW/2,000MWh BESS portfolio made up of four projects of varying sizes under development by the investor-owned utility (IOU).
Augmentation and end-of-life disposal look set to grow in significance in the next few years in the US, with nearly 1.5GW/3GWh of BESS projects now four years old or more.
