We get the reaction from other BESS suppliers, consultancies, research firms, optimisers, investors and IPPs to BYD launching a BESS using sodium-ion battery cells, a technology many see as a potential competitor to lithium-ion.
Dallas, Texas-based independent power producer (IPP) Stellar Renewable Power has secured a Special Use Permit (SUP) to construct and operate a 1GW/4GWh BESS project co-located with a 1GW solar farm in Navajo County, Arizona.
Chinese EV giant BYD has launched what an executive claimed is the ‘world’s first high-performance’ sodium-ion BESS product, using its proprietary form factor Long Blade Battery cell.
IPP Grenergy and EV and BESS firm BYD have extended a supply agreement for the Oasis de Atacama in Chile, which they claim will have the world’s largest BESS, to 3GWh.
Research firm Wood Mackenzie has released its latest global battery energy storage system BESS integrator report, for 2023, showing the market became more competitive with a smaller share by the top five.
Independent power producer (IPP) Grenergy has reached financial close on phase one and two of its Oasis de Atacama BESS and solar project in Chile, which will eventually reach 4.1GWh.
Lithium-ion battery OEM CATL’s claim that its latest BESS product has no degradation for the first five years of use has provoked much discussion across the industry, with some sceptical of its merits.
The Edwards & Sanborn solar-plus-storage project in California is now fully online, with 875MWdc of solar PV and 3,287MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity, the world’s largest.
