Atlas Renewable Energy has inaugurated a 200MW/800MWh BESS project in Chile, which it claimed is the ‘first large-scale standalone BESS’ in the country and the wider Latin American region.

Investor Return has started construction on a 100MW/200MWh BESS project in the Netherlands, with energy storage technology supplied by system integrator Alfen and power company Vattenfall enlisted as long-term offtaker.

In light of lengthy interconnection delays, independent power producer (IPP) NextEra Energy Resources (NEER) has successfully renegotiated the terms of an offtake agreement associated with one of the developer’s solar and storage projects located in Clark County, Nevada. 

MW Storage has enlisted optimiser Entrix to commercialise 50MW/100MWh of the capacity of a project twice that size in the town of Arzberg, Germany.

Commercial operation has started on the 100MW/331MWh Bramley battery energy storage system (BESS), a project in the UK deployed by owner-operator BW ESS, developer Penso Power and BESS provider Sungrow.

“To toll or not to toll seems to be the question. Rather the question you should be asking is with whom and how much,” a panellist at the Energy Storage Summit EU in London said today (19 February).
