Chile has passed new regulations around capacity market payments to energy storage, coinciding with a major project announcement from CJR and Sungrow.

ZEN Energy’s 138MW/330MWh Templers battery storage project in South Australia has broken ground after clearing the grid connection approval process in ‘record time,’ according to technology provider Sungrow.

Sungrow has agreed a partnership to deploy 160MW/760MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) and 165MW of PV inverters for a large off-grid project – AMAALA – in Saudi Arabia.

Inverter and BESS company Sungrow has signed a deal with developer Nofar Energy for a 230MWh project in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

China-based companies Sungrow and Eve Energy are seeing substantial growth in their energy storage product shipments.

For many years now, Spain has been one of the leading European markets for solar PV but has yet to meet the same outcome for energy storage. Sungrow has high expectations for this to happen in the coming years.

We heard from system integrator, developer and EPC delegates at the Energy Storage Summit EU in London last month about the implications of falling BESS prices.

Sungrow tells Energy-Storage.news that it does not currently have plans to launch its own lithium-ion battery cell production for battery energy storage system (BESS) products, a route being taken by other China-based system integrators. 

We caught up with James Li, European energy storage director of inverter and BESS provider Sungrow, at the Energy Storage Summit EU 2024.

Utility and independent power producer (IPP) Engie has started construction on a BESS project in Chile with a 5-hour duration.
