Developer SMT Energy and Software-focused energy storage system integrator FlexGen have announced the start of operations of a 160MW/320MWh energy storage facility Houston, Texas, US.

FlexGen and Eos Energy Enterprises, two US energy storage sector companies with different specialisations, have entered the European market.

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

FlexGen has acquired CES, which has to date commissioned more than 15GWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.  

In this Energy-Storage.news roundup, FlexGen updates its EMS, LandGate launches a BESS site selection tool, ON.energy and Shoals target AI data centres, and Sunrun has a successful season of dispatching energy with PG&E.

Software-focused battery energy storage system (BESS) integrator FlexGen has put two utility-scale BESS projects in operation in Wisconsin and Iowa, US, totalling 700MWh.

Two North American companies, Powin and Li-Cycle, were recently acquired by FlexGen and Glencore, respectively, after announcing bankruptcy.

FlexGen “felt compelled to step up” and ensure the continuity of operation of the more than 11GWh of assets deployed by acquisition target Powin.

Software-focused energy storage system integrator FlexGen’s bid to acquire assets from bankrupt rival Powin has been approved in court.

FlexGen Power Systems (FlexGen) has bid to take over rival US system integrator Powin during the latter’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
