UK energy industry regulator Ofgem said it is minded to approve the introduction of a financial commitment for BESS in an attempt to reduce the oversupply of the projects awaiting a grid connection.

Australia’s Victoria mandates new data centres match demand with own renewable energy and battery storage under new rules.

Dubai is planning to build 1,000MW of lithium-ion battery storage, expandable to 2,000MW and delivering 6,000MWh of capacity, according to panellists speaking on the “Key Trends from Early Middle East BESS Projects” panel at Energy Storage Summit Middle East 2026.

AEMO has published its 2026 ESOO, finding a clearer pathway to maintaining a reliable electricity supply across the NEM in the coming decade.

UNSW receives AU$6.52 million to study how solar, wind and battery storage interact with grid protection systems as Australia transitions to renewables.

Ahead of the Battery Asset Management Summit Australia 2026, we take a look at some of the key debates set to take centre stage at the event.

Grid-forming BESS have not yet been confirmed to meet the highest tier of system strength requirements in Australia’s NEM, according to AEMO.

BESS has huge potential to be deployed alongside AI data centres, but how are industry players positioning themselves to capture this opportunity?

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that large-scale data centres will be legally required to put at least as much energy into the grid as they draw from it, and that this supply must be renewable energy.
