A year since the implementation of the initial steps in EU Batteries Regulation went into effect and the impacts are already being seen, writes Nicholas Bellini of TÜV SÜD.
The EU Batteries Regulation came into force in 2023, but its various stipulations become law over the next several years. What does it mean for Europe’s BESS developers, operators and suppliers?
As electrical energy storage Europe (ees Europe) winds down for another year, here are some notable announcements made at and coinciding with the event.
Juan Ceballos, Trina Storage head of sales for Europe, tells ESN Premium how one of solar’s big players aims to become a major presence in energy storage.
A few weeks ago, a battery recycling deal was announced for a 640MWh BESS project in Australia, but the project isn’t even built yet and the cells have 25-year warranties – we caught up with the company recycling the batteries to hear more.
While contractual parties are rarely ironing out end-of-life provisions for BESS, those that do are keeping their options open with the future value of degraded batteries far from clear, a UK-based lawyer said.
Meeting the requirements of the European Union’s forthcoming ‘digital product passport’ for batteries is not as complex as it may seem, Energy-Storage.news Premium has heard.
The forthcoming introduction of the European Union (EU) Battery Passport could result in a 2-10% reduction in procurement costs, according to the consortium tasked with its implementation.
The European Union’s new Batteries Regulation will be a driver of change in how the energy storage system industry thinks about procurement and managing batteries at the end of life.
