Energy density is becoming a key tool in optimising the economics of battery energy storage projects as suitable sites become harder to find. Ben Echeverria and Josh Tucker from engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Burns & McDonnell explore some of the considerations of designing projects on constrained land.

Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Burns & McDonnell contributes to our end of year review series, looking back on 2023 and ahead to 2024.

Utility PNM has been given the green light for two battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in New Mexico which will support overloaded feeders at two locations.

The battery storage sector is about to enter its first ever phase of large-scale augmentations of systems as they reach 3-5 year degradation points and there are questions over how this will pan out, Burns & McDonnell told Energy-Storage.news.

The problem of changes to battery cell order pricing because of raw material index (RMI) pricing has now improved for energy storage offtakers, EPC firm Burns & McDonnell told Energy-Storage.news.

The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) team at international construction firm Burns & McDonnell has brought online 60MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in West Texas.

Burns & McDonnell and Recurrent Energy give their takes on the key successes and challenges of the past year in energy storage.
