Soltech Energy Solutions is installing a 12MW/12MWh battery storage unit in Sweden for municipal energy firm Nybro Energi, set to come online before the end of the year.
The European Commission has approved a €103 million (US$125 million) package of direct grants from the government in Romania for battery storage projects.
Some 1.9GW of grid-scale battery energy storage was deployed across Europe last year, of which nearly 85% was in UK, Ireland, Germany and France according to research and consultancy LCP Delta.
The US is now taking the stance on climate change its European counterparts have been demanding for years, the Department of Energy’s Jigar Shah told Energy-Storage.news in a wide-ranging interview.
