The Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) has given the green light to a solar and storage project from National Grid Renewables, with a 50MW battery energy storage system (BESS).
Europe reached 4.5GW of battery storage capacity last year and could hit 95GW by 2050, according to figures from LCP Delta and Aurora Energy Research respectively.
Developer Available Power is focusing on the ‘distributed play’ of 9.9MW-or-less battery storage opportunities within the area of grid operator ERCOT in Texas, a senior executive told Energy-Storage.news.
Cameron Murray talks to industry experts about the physical security risks to battery storage sites, and how the security and insurance aspects of operating BESS sites are evolving.
The European Commission has approved a €103 million (US$125 million) package of direct grants from the government in Romania for battery storage projects.
