Global long-duration energy storage (LDES) deployment figures soared in 2025, but newer technologies risk being outcompeted by the incumbent, lithium-ion (Li-ion).
A European Commission (EC) proposal to add domestic content requirements for energy storage will ‘significantly impact’ the industry but may not reduce overall dependence on China.
Thailand is increasing its renewable generation but its energy storage market still lags behind, while there is support for the upstream industry, writes analyst Charlotte Gisbourne.
In this second part of our interview with Wood Mackenzie energy storage analysts, we look at risk factors and mitigation across the European and US markets.
A second-round auction in the UK for grid stability services, including inertia, concluded without any wins for grid-forming battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.
Allianz GI, Luxcara and Return have acquired BESS projects and portfolios in Germany, Finland and Spain; Low Carbon, OX2, Cero Generation and Revera have taken FIDs on projects in Poland, Finland and the UK; and NHOA Energy has received a 600MWh order in Italy. All in all, the projects total at least 3.7GWh of capacity.
