Large-scale renewable energy power plant developers in the Philippines have been instructed to integrate energy storage into their proposed facilities.
The 200MW/400MWh New England battery energy storage system (BESS) in New South Wales has registered with the Australian Energy Market Operator’s (AEMO) Market Management System (MMS).
Power firm RWE is about to start building a 400MW/800MWh BESS project in Germany, among the largest in the country to reach the construction stage. In related news, Kyon Energy has connected a 282MWh project to the grid, possibly the largest in the country to reach that milestone.
Germany’s four transmission system operators (TSOs) have begun procuring inertia services to help stabilise the electric grid as shares of renewable energy grow.
The global energy storage market is poised for continued expansion in 2026, even as supply chain constraints, regulatory evolution, and emerging applications reshape the landscape, according to Wood Mackenzie.
