European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE), which represents 70 member organisations across the industry value chain, has undergone a rebrand.

The first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) with grid-forming capabilities in Germany was inaugurated a few days ago.

IPP Neoen has enlisted BESS supplier NHOA Energy for its first energy storage project in Italy.

Suriya Edwards and Deborah Harvey, partners specialising in battery energy storage at law firm Freeths LLP, analyse new EU battery regulations around suppliers’ responsibility for collecting, treating and recycling collected batteries.

Now is the moment for long-duration energy storage to become a key pillar of the energy transition, writes LDES Council CEO Julia Souder.

Spanish energy firm Zelestra and Portuguese utility EDP have signed what they call the “first” solar-plus-storage power purchase agreement (PPA) in the Spanish renewables market.

EU will not meet its 2030 clean energy targets unless cumulative battery storage deployments rapidly accelerate, SolarPower Europe has said.

Battery energy storage system (BESS) developer Giga Storage has acquired a 350MW/1,400MWh BESS asset in Germany, marking an expansion into the broader European energy storage market.

Juan Ceballos, Trina Storage head of sales for Europe, tells ESN Premium how one of solar’s big players aims to become a major presence in energy storage.
