Denmark-headquartered multinational energy company Ørsted has put its 250MW/500MWh Old 300 energy storage project in Needville, Texas, US into operation.
Tesla’s energy storage deployments rebounded in the second quarter of this year, but factors, including a decline in ASPs, had a significant impact on the company’s energy division’s gross margins.
There’s been a flurry of project completions across Europe this past week, with projects completed in Germany, Estonia, Belgium, Denmark and Bulgaria by RheinEnergie/SMA, BSP, BStor, European Energy and Sunotec respectively, totalling nearly 700MWh of capacity.
The state-owned Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) has revealed the qualified bidders for its second build own operate (BOO) BESS tender, totalling 3GW/12GWh of capacity across six projects.
In 2025, BESS installations surpassed 320GWh, a y-o-y increase of over 50%. While this tells one-side of the story, the growth in cell and system shipments tells an even more significant one, writes Benchmark’s Iola Hughes.
Three massive BESS projects have been launched in Europe: BW ESS has broken ground on a 1GW/5.7GWh system in Germany, while Greenvolt and Giga Storage have enlisted suppliers (BYD and Tesla) for 2.4GWh and 2.8GWh projects in Poland and Belgium.
US residential solar and energy storage installer Sunrun, energy management platform Renew Home, and Tesla have announced an agreement to deliver more than 16GW of flexible energy capacity to US hyperscalers and utilities.
RWE Renewables Australia has officially opened the 50MW/400MWh Limondale battery energy storage system (BESS) near Balranald in south-west New South Wales.
