Thoughts from a trio of energy storage technology providers and system integrators on the year just gone, and what lies in store in 2023.

Borrego has chosen Powin Energy as supplier of battery storage, with the pair signing an 800MWh supply agreement.

Creating a wider ecosystem of services and software is essential for system integrators to stay ahead, according to Julian Jansen at Fluence.

Industry-watchers will closely follow how the recently completed acquisition of energy storage system integrator NEC ES by LG Energy Solution pans out.

Fluence’s share price jumped 25% on their first day of trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. 

Trina Storage launched its new lithium iron phosphate (LFP) utility-scale battery storage cabinet and Sungrow launched its new line of residential battery storage at Intersolar Europe last week. 

“This next phase we’ve entered is a large number of projects in a lot of places,” Fluence VP for marketing and strategy, Brian Perusse, tells Energy-Storage.news.

Lithium-ion cell prices will fall by around 46% between now and 2029, according to new analysis from Guidehouse Insights, reaching US$66.6 per kWh by that time.

An electric vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging system, which allows for bi-directional flows of power from US maker Fermata Energy has become the first to receive certification under a new standard introduced by UL.

The fire unit at global multinational engineering firm Honeywell made its first move into lithium-ion safety in recognition of battery storage’s “huge potential” for decarbonisation and to help the world move “in a more energy efficient way”, the company has said.
