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

From leading players to startups, here are some tasty quotes from interviews taped at RE+ this week in Anaheim, California, US.

Britain’s feed-in tariff scheme will close in full to new applicants from 31 March 2019 and the end of the present scheme without an explicit next step laid out is troubling for many in the renewable energy industries and those that care about energy security and climate change.

The rise of grid trading and off-peak tariffs, rather than the closure of the feed-in tariff and potentially the export tariff, will see the domestic storage market experience “huge growth” over 2019 according to SolaX’s European product manager ahead of next week’s Solar & Storage Live conference and exhibition in England.
