Energy Vault and utility NV Energy have put a 220MW/440MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) into operation in Nevada, US.

Lithium-ion battery OEM CATL’s claim that its latest BESS product has no degradation for the first five years of use has provoked much discussion across the industry, with some sceptical of its merits.

EV and energy storage technology firm NHOA has commissioned a 120MWh BESS in Taiwan for parent company Taiwan Cement Group (TCC).

System integrator Powin is working on a new grid-scale BESS product to compete with increasingly competitive product from China, senior VP Danny Lu told us, while also discussing its Waratah project in Australia and fire safety.

JSW Renew Energy Five – a wholly owned subsidiary of JSW Neo Energy – has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) for the first of two 250MW/500MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.

A 60MW/80MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Taiwan, supplied by system integrator Fluence, has gone online.

Lithium-ion manufacturer Hithium will supply 5GWh of LFP battery cells to system integrator Powin over a three year period.

Developer Gurin Energy is so convinced of Japan’s energy storage market potential that it is planning a single project equivalent to the country’s entire installed base of lithium-ion battery storage.

Singapore-headquartered Gurin Energy has revealed plans for a 500MW, 4-hour duration (2,000MWh) battery storage project in Japan.

The government of Sri Lanka has entered into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Australian firm United Solar Group (USG) for a major floating solar power (FPV) and storage project.
