Multinational utility and IPP RWE has started building its first battery energy storage system (BESS) project in the Netherlands.

Finnish utility Helen is launching a 40MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Nurmijärvi, southern Finland, for 2025 commercial operation.

Global battery energy storage system (BESS) integrator Fluence saw a record order intake of US$1.1 billion in the first quarter of its 2024 financial year, but slipped back into a net loss, possibly reflecting seasonality.

After coming down last year, the cost of containerised BESS solutions for US-based buyers will come down a further 18% in 2024, Clean Energy Associates (CEA) said.

Energy-Storage.news is proud to present our sponsored webinar with JinkoSolar, deep-diving into battery storage safety.

Utility and independent power producer (IPP) Engie has started construction on a BESS project in Chile with a 5-hour duration.

Cubico Sustainable Investments has formed a joint venture (JV) with a local developer in Italy to develop 1GW-plus of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.

While more energy-dense BESS units mean packing more into smaller footprints, they may have additional implications for noise and fire safety, a developer source told Energy-Storage.news.

Energy density is becoming a key tool in optimising the economics of battery energy storage projects as suitable sites become harder to find. Ben Echeverria and Josh Tucker from engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Burns & McDonnell explore some of the considerations of designing projects on constrained land.

Eesti Energi has completed the procurement for its 26.5MW/51MWh BESS, the first of that scale in Estonia, with LG Energy Solution among the successful parties.
