UK market’s shifting dynamics see listed fund Gore Street’s shareholders take key vote while CIP and BW ESS progress 4-hour duration battery storage assets at significant scale.

Inaccurate state of charge (SOC) measurements can cost battery energy storage system (BESS) operators up to 15% in lost revenue, a persistent issue despite advances in monitoring technology.

BESS operators should be planning their projects against different locational price and charging regimes of the future rather than solely against the current revenue opportunities.

IPP Zelestra and power firm and utility EDP have agreed two new hybrid PPAs in Spain, adding 181MWdc of solar and 462MWh BESS to their existing co-operation. 

Australia’s 59 grid-scale BESS earned a combined AU$88.91 million in estimated gross energy and FCAS market revenue in the NEM.
