Audrius Baranauskas, head of innovation at Lithuanian TSO Litgrid, talked Energy-Storage.news through its 200MW storage-as-transmission BESS units, deployed by system integrator Fluence.

A total of 71GWh of new grid-scale energy storage needs to be deployed in Italy by 2030 for it to decarbonise its energy system in line with the EU targets.

The Italian grid-scale energy storage market is set to become one of the most active in Europe in the next few years having been close to non-existent until now.

Dutch transmission system operator (TSO) TenneT says the Netherlands will need 9GW of large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity connected to its grid by 2030.

In a big week for the grid-scale energy storage market in Italy, regulators have approved new grid storage-specific auction rules and a chunk of Aura Power’s 500MW-plus pipeline of BESS projects.

Energy networks in Europe share a common need for energy storage. What that looks like from a market perspective is evolving.

Fluence’s launch of a battery storage solution targeted at transmission network projects speaks to the high value of an as-yet underserved market.

Grid operators from across Europe believe energy storage is a vital flexibility resource that should be incentivised.

A battery storage system in the UK has begun delivery of reactive power services, claimed as a world first contract of its kind.

A 30MW battery energy storage system has been inaugurated by transmission system operator (TSO) ISA CTEEP in Brazil.
