With over 9GWh of operational grid-scale BESS (battery energy storage system) capacity in the UK – and a strong pipeline – it’s worth identifying the regional hotspots and how the landscape may evolve in the future. 

RWE has submitted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application with a local authority in Colorado to construct a 200MW standalone BESS using Tesla 2XL Megapacks.

Hecate Energy’s proposal to construct a 600MW/2,400MWh standalone BESS in the City of Moorpark, California, has experienced a major setback.

Recent revisions to the UK’s National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) could boost the deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS), said developer Root-Power’s managing director Neil Brooks.

Rounding up a busy week’s worth of energy storage activity from the UK market, as reported by our colleagues at Solar Power Portal.

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-Storage.news Premium speaks with one of the authors of a report into how communities can evaluate energy storage project proposals.

In a trio of UK battery storage announcements, EDF Renewables has commissioned a 50MW battery energy storage system (BESS), while TagEnergy and Exagen have progressed two projects totalling another 175MW.

Applications made to the government of New South Wales in Australia for two solar farms totalling 285MW of capacity are open to comment from stakeholders and members of the public.
