German telecommunications firm Deutsche Telekom has place its second battery storage order this year, for 60MWh of systems from Intilion.

Gravitricity has partnered with firms in the US and Germany to deploy its gravity energy storage solution while Energy Vault has provided an update on its China project.

Europe reached 4.5GW of battery storage capacity last year and could hit 95GW by 2050, according to figures from LCP Delta and Aurora Energy Research respectively.

Developer Enerparc has turned on its first solar-plus-storage project in Germany awarded under 2020/21’s Innovation Tender.

Germany’s installed based of large-scale energy storage predicted to roughly double in the next couple of years, after 2022 saw a comeback.

A solar-plus-storage project has been commissioned in Saxony, Germany, the first in the state from the recent ‘innovation tenders’ to do so.

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.

More than two-thirds of the planned lithium-ion battery production capacity in Europe is at risk of delay, downsizing or cancellation mainly due to the Inflation Reduction Act, according to a new study.

Deutsche Telekom has announced the first battery energy storage system installation in a 300MWh rollout in Germany, with Norwegian firm Pixii the technology provider.

German commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage system firm Tesvolt is investing €60 million in a new manufacturing hub at its headquarters in Lutherstadt Wittenberg.
