The commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage market is experiencing rapid growth as industries worldwide focus on decarbonisation and energy efficiency.

Opportunities for commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage are growing, and customers need safe, reliable battery systems that maximise value throughout their lifecycle, says Cubenergy’s Chris Wu.

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.

A large-scale hybrid project has been connected to the grid in China, combining BESS and supercapacitor technology to provide numerous services to the grid including black start.

This edition of news in brief from around the world in energy storage includes Enel X, NineDot Energy and Nissan.

Power management tech company Eaton and developer/IPP Endurant Energy are deploying 150MWh of BESS across 10 projects in New York City.

Storage developer and operator Lightshift Energy will deploy numerous distributed BESS projects totalling 50MW for various utilities via the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC).

Prevalon Energy, a dedicated BESS spin-out from Mitsubishi Power Americas, has secured a 328MWh order from utility Idaho Power in the US.

Europe’s telecommunications sector has the potential to deploy 15GWh of distributed energy storage (DES), halving its energy costs and helping the energy transition, Finnish telecoms firm Elisa said discussing its new DES solution with Energy-Storage.news.

Mobile energy storage firm Nomad has won a US$9.5 million DOE grant to deploy its product in rural communities in Vermont, US.
