The EU has today (23 November) launched a grant funding opportunity worth €4 billion (US$4.4 billion) for upstream and downstream clean energy projects, including energy storage.
Gigafactory company Northvolt and sodium-ion battery technology firm Altris have together revealed a battery with an energy density of 160Wh/kg, designed for energy storage systems.
Developer Kyon Energy has claimed the largest approved BESS in Europe for a 275MWh project in Germany, just as regulators extend grid fee exemptions for energy storage by three years to 2029.
Developers Matrix Renewables and Emeren have agreed a deal for a 410MW/3,280MWh BESS project portfolio in Italy, equating to an average discharge duration of 8 hours.
Developer Kyon Energy has secured construction approval for a 2-hour large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
Energy storage system (ESS) executives from Northvolt and Fluence discussed the battery and battery storage manufacturing ecosystem in Europe in separate interviews whilst at the Energy Storage Summit Central Eastern Europe (CEE) recently.
The Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) energy storage market is in its infancy but has the potential to leapfrog more developed markets with Poland in a leading position, said executives from Fluence.
Developer Redelfi and investor WRM Group have signed a term sheet to create a joint venture (JV) targeting 2.8GW of standalone battery storage investments in Italy over a three-year period.
