US solar PV and energy storage project developer Intersect Power has closed two financing deals worth US$837 million for three battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.
Winning bids as low as IR3.41/kWh (US$0.041/kWh) have been registered in a tender for solar PV paired with battery storage hosted by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
Eneos Renewable Energy will add energy storage to an existing solar PV power plant in southern Japan, after successfully applying for subsidies to support the project’s cost.
The UK and Ireland’s energy storage pipeline is rapidly growing, with co-located solar PV and storage comprising around 20% of planned capacity, writes Mollie McCorkindale of Solar Media Market Research.
