Hithium has shipped the first battery energy storage systems (BESS) manufactured at its new plant in Texas, US.

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

California utility Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has pushed back recommissioning of the Elkhorn battery energy storage system (BESS) by approximately one year, to 30 June 2026.

California and Texas have been “really good proving grounds” for energy storage, according to the CEO of developer Fullmark Energy.

Following in the footsteps of several other US jurisdictions this year, officials at California’s Orange County are one step closer to amending zoning laws to allow the development of BESS. 

After an initial rush to deploy that gave CAISO and ERCOT the lead in US BESS adoption, both markets are focused on capacity and availability, writes Amit Mathrani of Rabobank Americas.

Independent power producer (IPP) Fullmark Energy has announced the commercial operation of its 20MW/40MWh Ortega energy storage project in Lake Elsinore, California, US.

 Independent power producer (IPP) NextEra Energy Resources (NEER) has received approval from the Utah Inland Port Authority (UIPA) for its 200MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in Salt Lake City, Utah, US.

Three companies, Energy Vault, Richardson Electronics, and Fluence, have made strategic moves to create a secure BESS equipment supply chain.
