Hithium hosted a launch yesterday for its new sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery cell and energy storage system product line, promising a 30-year expected operational lifetime.

In this deep-dive, we go through and analyse all of the technical features and claims of CATL’s new sodium-ion grid-scale BESS product, including its ‘millisecond-level self-healing’.

Sodium-ion BESS startup Moonwatt expects the battery chemistry to reach price cost parity with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) in the next two or three years, according to its CCO, Valentin Rota.

The solar PV and energy storage expo SNEC 2026 in Shanghai, China, was the place to see product launches and showcases from the big players.

Lithium-ion battery cell degradation is one of the things that makes BESS a more complicated asset to manage than other clean energy technologies.

In the rapidly evolving US energy storage sector, companies must navigate a complex web of policy changes, supply chain challenges, and evolving customer needs.

BESS asset management in the UK has moved beyond the rudimentary ‘project delivery and basic O&M’ approach, a speaker at the upcoming Battery Asset Management Summit UK & Ireland explained in a Q&A.

Carrie Xiao reports back from SNEC, the world’s biggest solar PV and energy storage trade show, where large-format lithium cells took centre stage.

As electrical energy storage Europe (ees Europe) winds down for another year, here are some notable announcements made at and coinciding with the event.

Alternative technologies to lithium-ion are unlikely to oust the incumbent anytime soon, writes Anh Vu of Clean Energy Associates (CEA).
