Power purchase agreements (PPAs) have increasingly shown their limitations, and energy storage and flexibility resources can offer a solution, writes John Diklev, founder and CEO of Sweden-based optimiser and flexibility asset operator Flower.
Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) in New York, US, has finalised contract negotiations for two large-scale BESS projects proposed by Key Capture Energy.
Chris McKissack, CEO of GlidePath, talks to Energy-Storage.news about ERCOT’s evolution, optimisation strategies and how batteries and renewables can take on fossil fuels.
Battery storage plays an important role in adding resilience to energy networks. But it should also be remembered that natural catastrophes can affect BESS resources too, writes Ross Kiddie of bespoke battery insurance company Altelium.
At first glance, renewable power generation has created, in the eyes of traditional industries, an investment nirvana. By understanding how these better-capitalised companies view renewables’ merchant risk, we can identify where future energy storage projects should seek finance partners, says Charles Lesser, a partner at Apricum – The Cleantech Advisory.
