Energy storage system integrators are diversifying their procurement strategies to ease supply chain constraints.

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

Analyst Oliver Forsyth from IHS Markit explains exactly how things are changing in BESS system integration.

Standalone storage, demand from commercial and industrial (C&I) customers and new types of grid services will increasingly help drive growth in energy storage in the coming years, but the future mix between battery-based and alternative storage types is still unclear.

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.

FlexGen Power Systems has launched an electric vehicle charging solution combining its energy management system (EMS) platform and battery energy storage. 

LG Energy Solution, the battery technology arm of South Korea’s LG Group, has completed its acquisition of 100% ownership in battery energy storage system (BESS) integrator NEC ES.

Powin Energy has signed framework agreements with four developers for 5.8GWh of battery storage solutions to be delivered in the 2022-2024 timeframe. 

Fluence has reaffirmed its guidance of US$1.1 billion to US$1.3 billion revenues for the 2022 financial year, with the company’s CEO claiming expectations were exceeded in the first quarter “despite short-term headwinds”.
