Solar Media Market Research analyst Charlotte Gisbourne looks at the changing revenue and margin dynamics in the BESS supplier landscape.

CATL will supply the BESS units for Grenergy’s two large-scale energy storage projects in Spain, both of which have decade-long tolls.

Sodium-ion may be increasingly competitive for projects where total lifecycle economics matter more than initial procurement cost alone, the CEO of HyperStrong told us after the system integrator signed a 60GWh supply and co-operation agreement with CATL.

We hear from industry sources about the significance of the CATL-HyperStrong sodium-ion BESS battery deal. Does it make a real turning point for the technology as an alternative to lithium-ion?

With CATL and HyperStrong’s 60GWh sodium-ion battery deal announcement yesterday, it’s an ideal time to look at the different sodium-ion cell chemistries and battery products available for BESS today.

Battery manufacturer CATL and system integrator HyperStrong have entered into a 60GWh sodium-ion battery order deal, which CATL said marks a ‘turning point in the industrialisation of sodium-ion batteries’.

We analyse and compare the metrics of the various LFP battery cells of 587Ah and above, from leading providers CATL, Eve Energy, Hithium, Rept Battero, CALB and BYD.

China’s biggest energy storage companies were out in force at a recent trade expo in Beijing, with integrated offerings, bigger battery cells, data centre solutions and sodium-ion products among the new products and tech on show.

Chile continues to be Latin America’s hotspot for energy storage deployments, with a major new deal for Grenergy and Engie bringing a project online in the past week.

China’s energy storage sector may be at the start of a price trend reversal, with recent data showing price increases.
