Substantial growth in China’s domestic energy storage market has led to locally-based players Sungrow and Hyperstrong becoming top five system integrators globally, S&P Global Commodity Insights said.

System integrator Fluence and Norwegian state-owned power firm Statkraft have partnered on a 4-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) in Ireland, the market’s first.

Global system integrator Fluence has been enlisted by developer Tilt Renewables for a 100MW/200MWh BESS project in Victoria, Australia, the first to deploy the full Fluence product ecosystem, it said.

Developer Varco Energy has enlisted Fluence and GE Vernova to supply battery energy storage systems (BESS) for two separate UK projects.

Norwegian state-owned power producer Statkraft has enlisted system integrator Fluence for a 50MW, transmission system-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) in the UK.

Global battery storage system integrator Fluence raised its full-year guidance again after a strong third quarter, while revealing battery cell orders with AESC and Northvolt.

Enersense International has been enlisted to provide maintenance services on four battery storage projects in Lithuania deployed by Fluence.

Global BESS integrator Fluence has secured its second ‘Grid Booster’ battery storage project in Germany, this time with TSO TenneT for two projects totalling 200MW.

A large-scale battery system has been brought online at the site of the former Hazelwood Power Station coal plant in Victoria, Australia.

Optionality is key for battery storage developers and owners when considering project augmentation, leading system integrators to enhance their augmentation offering.
