Primergy director of engineering and Energy Storage Awards 2026 judge, Aaroh Kharaya, on key trends transforming the battery storage stack.

German solar and storage developer ib vogt has received state planning approval for the 120MW/480MWh Wagga North battery energy storage system (BESS) in New South Wales, Australia.

We analyse recent details that have emerged on battery OEM CATL’s zero-degradation BESS technology, which was first announced two years ago.

State of charge (SOC) is on the face of it a straightforward measurement for batteries and BESS. But in reality, it’s highly complex and under- or over-reporting still happens in the industry, leading to under-performance and losses in revenue.

Sodium-ion BESS startup Moonwatt expects the battery chemistry to reach price cost parity with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) in the next two or three years, according to its CCO, Valentin Rota.

A group of sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery-focused companies have launched a new industry coalition, the American Battery Leadership Coalition (ABLC).

SK On’s North America president tells ESN Premium about the battery company’s vertically integrated push for market share across the US.

General Motors (GM) has partnered with sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery storage startup Peak Energy to target the grid-scale energy storage market.

LG Energy Solution’s US battery storage system integrator arm has signed a 1.5GW/6GWh deal with Michigan utility DTE Energy.

The US installed 9.7GWh of new battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity, according to the US trade association group, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
