Netherlands-based startup Moonwatt plans to commercialise an energy storage solution for hybridisation with solar using two big technological deviations from today’s industry standard – we hear more from the firm’s CEO and COO.

Developer ESA Solar has announced successful permitting of the Salzburg Battery Storage Project, a 150MW/600MWh standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) in Midland Township, Michigan, US.

BESS owner-operator BW ESS and developer ACL Energy have expanded their development pipeline in Italy to 2.9GW.

Last week (7 November) saw bids opened for a 75MW/300MWh BESS tender launched by the government of Honduras, in Central America.

IPP Genera PR has chosen Tesla to provide the BESS technology for a 430MW/1,720MWh pipeline of projects in Puerto Rico, set to enter commercial operations at the end of 2025.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) will play an important role in reducing curtailment issues Chile has been facing in 2024, keynote speakers said at the third edition of Solar Media’s Energy Storage Summit Latin America 2024 today.

BW ESS and its partner Penso Power have signed the first long-term tolling agreement for a single battery energy storage system (BESS) asset in Great Britain with Shell Energy Europe.

Croatia will provide some €500 million (US$534 million) in subsidies for battery energy storage system (BESS) technology, a government minister said.

Netherlands’ climate minister has allocated €100 million in subsidies to the deployment of ‘time-shifting’ battery storage with solar PV projects for next year, an acceleration of a larger €400 million-plus programme.

Italy grid-scale energy storage market opportunities unlike anywhere else, but many challenges and uncertainties around the different revenue streams remain, including the upcoming MACSE capacity market auction.
