Update 27 June 2025: Trianel and Luxcara responded to Energy-Storage.news’ enquiries below regarding the project timelines and the Battery Park’s planned capacities.
Utility EWII has connected a 30MW/43MWh BESS unit to the grid on the island of Bornholm in Denmark, which has the potential to act as an emergency backup in case a nearby interconnector to Sweden fails.
The battery storage markets of Italy, Great Britain and Germany are the top three most attractive for investors in Europe, according to analysis firm Aurora Energy Research.
The European Union’s transition to a renewable-energy-powered electricity grid will fail unless it does more to support and promote energy storage, according to the Energy Storage Coalition.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) from several firms helped the energy system recover after the NSL interconnector, which connects the UK and Norway, suddenly stopped exporting power to the UK.
Flexibility will be a critical piece of the grid of the future and energy storage will play a central role in that, keynote speakers said at Solar Media’s Energy Storage Summit Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) 2024 today.
Recognition of the role energy storage must play in Europe’s energy transition has been long overdue. Now that it has arrived, the hard work begins, write Julian Jansen and Lars Stephan of system integrator Fluence.
Octopus Energy’s head of flexibility discussed its tolling deal with Gresham House for nearly 1GWh of BESS projects, including how they will fit into its VPP portfolio and whether their energy market activity could change under its control.
