Construction has begun in western Lithuania on a 30MW/60MWh grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) project using CATL equipment.

CATL, the world’s biggest lithium-ion OEM, saw flat ESS revenues in the first half of the year, but the extent to which this can be blamed on the increased US-China tariffs, if at all, is far from clear.

We look at which BESS suppliers have supplied which UK project owner-operators, with data from our Market Research colleagues.

As the BESS industry matures, the trend towards a closening relationship between OEMs and project owners looks set to continue, but system integrators will continue to have a role to play.

IPP Lydian Energy has successfully closed on a US$233 million project financing for three battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Texas, US.

Listing via the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is emerging as a key financing pathway for China’s energy storage players, writes Carrie Xiao.

A subsidiary of CATL and local partners have begun construction on a battery manufacturing complex in West Java, Indonesia.

Alinta Energy has approved the development of the first stage of its Reeves Plains Energy Hub BESS in South Australia.

Competition from Chinese manufacturers put Powin on a tricky footing, even before industry headwinds dealt the company what appears to have been a lethal blow.

The question of where the cells in a BESS are from ties in to safety, performance, design and, increasingly, potential tariffs.
