The US administration has a clear distaste for climate issues, but economics and data centres can still drive a clean energy transition.

Honeywell, LS Electric, esVolta, Sitetracker, PairedPower, PHNXX, and Energy Toolbase are collaborating on new initiatives to advance energy storage installations across the US.

More than 30 stakeholder organisations in the US energy storage value chain have formed a new association to represent common interests.

Energy storage escaped much of the pain inflicted on solar in recent legislative changes in the US, but foreign entity restrictions may create some supply chain challenges, writes April Bonner.

Capstone-Eurowind 3.2GWh BESS project is the latest to reach the final stage of the California Energy Commission opt-in process.

Three US battery energy storage system (BESS) developers, GridStor, Flatiron, and Jupiter Power, have advanced BESS projects totalling 1.6GWh across Arizona, Massachusetts, and Michigan.

The capacity of virtual power plants in North America has reached 37.5GW, a 13.7% year-on-year growth, according to Wood Mackenzie.

The US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has launched the newest edition of its cornerstone battery storage safety standard, NFPA 855.

Jeff Zwijack, associate director of energy storage at Clean Energy Associates, writes that BESS projects depend on the reliability of fully integrated systems, not just high-quality battery cells.

Chinese energy storage companies active in the US face an uncertain future as federal policies encourage moves to reduce their supply chain involvement.
