The first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) with grid-forming capabilities in Germany was inaugurated a few days ago.

The value of developers and optimisers in the BESS lifecycle, thinking about long-term risk and KPIs for maximising the asset have been key themes at the Battery Asset Management Summit UK & Ireland 2025.

Germany has awarded contracts to 490MW of solar-plus-storage projects in its latest “innovation” auction for co-located renewables.

Italian multinational energy company Eni intends to become a player in battery cell manufacturing for stationary energy storage systems.

Jeff Zwijack, associate director of energy storage at Clean Energy Associates, writes that BESS projects depend on the reliability of fully integrated systems, not just high-quality battery cells.

Hitachi Energy has been successful in its bid to acquire full ownership of Eks Energy, a manufacturer of power conversion systems (PCS).

Asset manager MEAG and a subsidiary of inverter specialist SMA have partnered to deploy a 130MW/354MWh BESS in Germany, their second together and one which will deploy ‘next-generation’ inverters.
