Ørsted has broken ground on a BESS development co-located with onshore substation infrastructure for Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm in the UK.

A 300MW/600MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) developed by Ørsted will be co-located with its Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm onshore substation.

Hungary’s subsidy scheme for energy storage will drive huge growth in BESS deployments over the next few years.

Our interview with Salim Mazouz, one of the designers of Australia’s Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) concludes.

We hear from consultancy AFRY about how energy storage can reduce market risks for CfD-winning projects in the UK, now and in future, as Ørsted launches a BESS at a major wind farm project with a CfD.

The European Commission has approved a €1 billion (US$1.1 billion) state aid measure for Greece to support two solar-plus-storage projects.

We hear from Chris Wickins, technical director at UK battery storage developer-operator Field about how grid interconnection and market mechanisms are developing in Europe’s most advanced energy storage market.

Work has begun on a 600MW/1,600MWh BESS by the State Electricity Commission (SEC), an entity owned by the Australian state of Victoria.

The Australian government’s start of competitive tenders for dispatchable renewable energy capacity backed with energy storage is an unprecedented step for national energy policy.

The backing of new Electricity Market Design proposals by the European Parliament is welcome, but the plan still falls short in its support for energy storage technologies.
