Trade association Energy Storage Europe (ESE) has welcomed proposed reforms to European Union (EU) grid connection and permitting processes.

With the final deadline for this year’s California legislative session having passed, now is a good time to analyse the outcomes of several bills that were first introduced earlier this year pertaining to BESS.

BSW-Solar has called on the German government to impose a target of 100GWh of cumulative operational BESS by 2030.

Energy storage escaped much of the pain inflicted on solar in recent legislative changes in the US, but foreign entity restrictions may create some supply chain challenges, writes April Bonner.

Governor of New Jersey, US, Phil Murphy, signed legislation into law to reach 2,000MW of energy storage capacity by 2030, and nearly doubling the state’s clean energy capacity.

US energy storage projects that begin construction by the end of 2033 will remain eligible for investment tax credit (ITC) incentives.

EU will not meet its 2030 clean energy targets unless cumulative battery storage deployments rapidly accelerate, SolarPower Europe has said.

US Senators are expected to begin voting on the tax reconciliation bill today, with a draft published on Friday coming down hard on clean energy tax credits.

US tax credits for energy storage projects could be retained even if solar PV, wind and electric vehicle (EV) incentives face cuts.

Texas, US, Governor Greg Abbott signed a law placing mandates on decommissioning battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities at the end of their lifecycle.
