Duke Energy, Elevate Renewables, and Fluence Energy, along with BrightNight and Cordelio Power, are advancing BESS projects across the BESS.

PJM has awarded 23 battery energy storage system (BESS) resources, totalling 2.2GW, with interconnection agreements (IAs) in its first transition cycle (TC1) of the reformed interconnection process.

According to a new report from the US Energy Storage Coalition (ESC), PJM faces an urgent near-term requirement for affordable capacity to accommodate large loads expected through 2032.

Regulated utility Dominion Energy last week received the green light from local officials to develop a 100MW/400MWh BESS in Fauquier County, Virginia. 

Swift Current Energy has secured US$242 million for what the developer claimed will be the biggest BESS project in the PJM service area.

Governor of New Jersey, US, Phil Murphy, signed legislation into law to reach 2,000MW of energy storage capacity by 2030, and nearly doubling the state’s clean energy capacity.

Greater deployment of renewable energy and battery storage in Illinois would help mitigate soaring costs of capacity market auctions in PJM Interconnection territory.

Swift Current Energy has encountered a major stumbling block in developing a standalone BESS in Virginia.

Clean energy trade body American Clean Power Association (ACP) has released a report on energy storage market reforms for regional grid operators based on findings from the Brattle Group.

Louisville Gas and Electric Company (LG&E) and Kentucky Utilities Company (KU) are proposing to build two 645MW natural gas stations and a 400MW battery energy storage system (BESS).
