Big names in the downstream battery storage market have signed up to join an initiative aimed at simplifying BESS procurement.  

Nvidia’s new qualification programme for products and solutions that meet its reference design requirements includes three battery storage solutions.  

The “vast majority” of issues identified in Intertek CEA’s 2025 audits were system-level defects that could pose risks to projects if undetected and unresolved.

BESS safety issues become all too visible when it’s already too late, but a considered approach through the full lifecycle can mitigate these and many other risks, writes Sunny Rai from Intertek.

Energy-Storage.news speaks to Willliam Lauwers, head of technology, BESS, at consulting, engineering and quality control firm Enertis Applus+, ahead of the upcoming Energy Storage Summit USA.

Jon Begona Alvarez and Beñat Murua Ugartemendia from Kiwa PI Berlin on why quality assurance is the foundation of long-term success.

A year since the implementation of the initial steps in EU Batteries Regulation went into effect and the impacts are already being seen, writes Nicholas Bellini of TÜV SÜD.

Industrial power solutions manufacturer Volvo Penta discusses its battery systems for BESS with a focus on the heavy industry and construction sectors. 

Jeff Zwijack, associate director of energy storage at Clean Energy Associates, writes that BESS projects depend on the reliability of fully integrated systems, not just high-quality battery cells.

Energy storage system safety is being taken to new levels, as evidenced by the fire testing efforts of Chinese market players, writes Carrie Xiao.
