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

Energy storage-focused lithium-ion OEM Hithium has started mass production of the world’s first 1,000Ah+ battery cell, which it is targeting for long-duration energy storage (LDES) applications.

China continues to dominate BESS deployments globally with 4.3GW/11.2GWh of deployments in May, including a 1GWh flow battery system.

US energy storage markets could see a “last-minute rush” followed by plummeting installation numbers if tax credit incentives are cut.

New analysis from Clean Energy Associates (CEA) and Wood Mackenzie highlights the challenges facing the US battery storage market due to trade tariffs.

A financial advisor has been appointed to manage US energy storage system integrator Powin, with the company “navigating a period of significant financial challenge”.

Hithium has opened a 10GWh battery module and system factory in Texas, while LG Energy Solution has begun mass-producing cells in Michigan.

Rept Battero and Hyosung Heavy Industries have agreed to jointly promote energy storage system (ESS) technologies in global markets.

Matthew Biss looks at how energy storage companies plan and mitigate tariff and tax credit risks within an uncertain policy landscape.

Energy tax credits “drive innovation, strengthen our economy, and create real opportunity,” according to US Republican Senator John Curtis.
