Developer Elements Green has secured preliminary planning approval for a 400MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Germany.

The BESS ‘land grab’ looks set to continue as Tier 2 companies vie for market share before countries potentially curb imports from China, with one developer suggesting the recent CATL-Duke Energy case will “not be unique”.

BESS price falls have pushed many marginal projects in merchant markets into a rate of return needed for investment, US developer Available Power told Energy-Storage.news amidst the sale process for its own 100MW/200MWh ERCOT project.

Solar PV inverter and battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturer Sungrow has signed a strategic supply agreement with Gulf Energy Development in Thailand.

Harmony Energy and Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) have energised a 99MW/198MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Essex.

We heard from system integrator, developer and EPC delegates at the Energy Storage Summit EU in London last month about the implications of falling BESS prices.

The implications of larger projects, revenue streams of projects, and grid connection issues were discussed on a panel at the ESS EU event in London.

A recent report from the Clean Energy Associates found that system-level defects accounted for nearly half of all defects found in battery energy storage systems (BESS), of which two issues related to increased risk of fire.

Global energy storage developer Eku Energy has started constructing two UK battery energy storage systems (BESS), totalling 130MWh of capacity.

After coming down last year, the cost of containerised BESS solutions for US-based buyers will come down a further 18% in 2024, Clean Energy Associates (CEA) said.
