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.

What are the different types of AC and DC augmentation in battery storage, and the pros and cons of each?

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

Industry leaders warned that “unfettered optimism” regarding battery degradation is hitting a wall of operational reality.

European IPP R.Power’s head of BESS and CCO sat down with Energy-Storage.news at the Energy Storage Summit 2026 last month for a video interview to discuss the firm’s storage activity and approach to procuring technology.

The low prices and strict operational requirements in Italy’s recent MACSE auction for BESS have brought asset management and operational execution into the spotlight.

Energy-Storage.news proudly presents our sponsored webinar with GridBeyond, Surviving Energy Storage Nightmares: True Tales and Expert Advice.
