The Chile arm of global energy firm AES Corporation is looking to build another large co-located battery energy storage system (BESS), this time with a capacity of 2,710MWh.

The local subsidiary of global energy firm AES has submitted an EIA for a hybrid renewables plant in Chile with over 3,000MWh of battery energy storage capacity.

Global battery energy storage system integrator Fluence is using its intelligent bidding software solution to optimise the trading activity of a 508MWh system it recently completed for AES in California.

Utility and power company AES Corporation has brought the Lancaster Area Battery (LAB), the second portion of a combined 908MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) complex in California, online.

Fluence, the global battery energy storage system integrator, is changing CEO with Julian Nebreda replacing incumbent Manuel Pérez Dubuc next month.

Solar and storage EPC and O&M provider Borrego has completed the construction of 15 solar-plus-storage projects across New York and Massachusetts totalling 169MWh, for AES Corporation.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved 497MW of energy storage procured by utility Southern California Edison (SCE) to come online from August 2023 through June 2024.

Energy storage technology provider Fluence and battery gigafactory startup Northvolt will collaborate to develop “next-generation battery technology for grid-scale storage applications,” the companies said today.

Standalone energy storage can challenge new gas peaker plants as a “mainstream” option in the US right now, Fluence has said.
