Tesla made 846MWh of battery energy storage system deployments in the first quarter of this year.

CATL has sold 900MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) equipment to US independent power producer (IPP) Broad Reach Power. 

President Joe Biden’s recent invocation of the Defense Production Act of 1950 could help solve supply chain issues, but only over the longer term. 

Facilities aimed at making products for the BESS industry announced by Turkey-headquartered Kontrolmatik and Ireland-headquartered Eaton.

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) will be the dominant battery chemistry over nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) by 2028, in a global market of demand exceeding 3,000GWh by 2030.

Norwegian lithium-ion gigafactory startup FREYR Battery could easily dedicate half of its 2030 production capacity target of 100 GWh to energy storage and is also launching a system integrator play, CEO Tom Jensen tells Energy-Storage.news in an interview.

Energy-storage.news speaks with the CEO of American Battery Factory, which seeks to establish a network of LFP gigafactories.

China’s share of the lithium-ion battery cell production capacity market is set to fall from 75% in 2020 to 66% in 2030, according to Clean Energy Associates in a new report.

Pandemic-related supply chain issues for lithium battery materials hitting the energy storage space are just “bumps in the road” for the sector, and the supply chain will “come out stronger because of it”.

Tesla is ambitious to grow its energy storage business in 2022, after it reported a 32% year-on-year increase in battery storage deployments, executives including CEO Elon Musk have said.
