Modo Energy has said that battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) earned an average of AU$148,000/MW (US$92,810/MW) in 2024, a 45% increase year-on-year.
Grid constraints have prevented Chile from maximising the potential of its world-class solar resources. Energy storage has, therefore, become a necessity to ensure the financial viability of PV projects.
Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has secured AU$722 million (US$452 million) in debt financing for the first two stages of its ‘Supernode’ energy storage project in Queensland, Australia.
D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments is seeking a loan from the North American Development Bank (NADBank) towards the construction of a 150MW hybrid solar and BESS project in Doña Ana County, New Mexico.
Grenergy has raised financing for the fourth phase of a solar-plus-storage project in Chile set to feature 11GWh of battery storage capacity when completed.
The US battery storage market is in a rapid growth phase and becoming increasingly competitive, creating an increasing need for sophisticated technologies and a deeper understanding of markets.
