BESS has huge potential to be deployed alongside AI data centres, but how are industry players positioning themselves to capture this opportunity?

System integrator and project developer ON.Energy and AI data centre infrastructure developer Crusoe have partnered to deploy 5GW of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) technology across multiple US hyperscale campuses.

In this Energy-Storage.news roundup, FlexGen updates its EMS, LandGate launches a BESS site selection tool, ON.energy and Shoals target AI data centres, and Sunrun has a successful season of dispatching energy with PG&E.

In this edition of the Energy-Storage.news US news roundup, EticaAG partners with Shell on battery immersion tech, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory begins utility-scale battery testing, and ON.Energy announces a transformer supply agreement.

The development of data centres has emerged as a possible lifeline for ongoing projects in the battery energy storage system (BESS) industry.

System integrator and project developer On.Energy has closed a US$77.6 million construction credit agreement with Pathward, NA and BridgePeak Energy Capital to build its 160MWh Palo de Agua battery energy storage system (BESS) portfolio.

The US battery storage market is in a rapid growth phase and becoming increasingly competitive, creating an increasing need for sophisticated technologies and a deeper understanding of markets.
