LG Energy Solution and Stellantis’ joint venture (JV), NextStar Energy, Canada’s first large-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery manufacturing plant, is expanding to produce energy storage system (ESS) batteries.
Production has begun at a battery energy storage system (BESS) factory designated as a project of strategic importance by the European Commission (EC) due to its use of local supply chains.
Solar PV and energy storage firm Canadian Solar has entered into battery storage agreements (BSAs) and long-term services agreements (LTSAs) with Aypa Power for the Elora and Hedley battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Ontario, Canada.
Last summer, a Texas energy storage operator watched in frustration as their battery system missed a golden trading opportunity during a peak demand window.
Drew Bandhauer of Leeward Renewable Energy examines how changes in lithium-ion battery chemistries help manage fire safety risk and how industry standards are evolving in step with technological advances.
