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.

We hear from US-based lithium sulfur battery firm Lyten executives about the firm’s deal to take ownership of European battery firm Northvolt.

India’s ambitious drive for renewable energy has accelerated the need for energy storage, but there are many factors to success, writes Charith Konda of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).

FlexGen “felt compelled to step up” and ensure the continuity of operation of the more than 11GWh of assets deployed by acquisition target Powin.

Fluence expects to hit the lower end of its previously issued revenue guidance for the 2025 financial year due to delays in ramping up at US production sites.

One of the world’s major players in solar PV is also becoming a well-known name in the energy storage system (ESS) space.

Lyten’s deal to acquire and recommence operations of European battery firm Northvolt out of bankruptcy has winners and losers, but some of the challenges that led to its demise have already been solved.

US-based lithium sulfur battery firm Lyten has now acquired nearly all of the assets of failed European lithium-ion battery startup Northvolt, with this deal to buy its gigafactories in Sweden and Germany and all IP.

The annual capacity of battery cell manufacturing for ESS in the US looks set to reach 50GWh by the end of next year, based on recent company announcements.

Sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) startup Peak Energy has launched and shipped its first sodium-ion BESS to be deployed in a shared pilot with nine utility and independent power producers (IPPs).
