Leading energy storage technology companies, developers, operators and outstanding individuals are featured on the shortlists for this year’s Energy Storage Awards (ESAs).
The value of developers and optimisers in the BESS lifecycle, thinking about long-term risk and KPIs for maximising the asset have been key themes at the Battery Asset Management Summit UK & Ireland 2025.
BESS asset management in the UK has moved beyond the rudimentary ‘project delivery and basic O&M’ approach, a speaker at the upcoming Battery Asset Management Summit UK & Ireland explained in a Q&A.
Repurposing EV battery packs and modules into BESS obviously has environmental benefits, but challenges around pricing, performance and safety remain, panellists at an industry event in London said last week.
Asset manager AIP Management has bought a 49% stake in a 2.4GWh UK portfolio from global BESS investment platform BW ESS for a deal in excess of £650 million (US$873 million).
Just over 70% of the successful projects in the first window of the UK’s long-duration energy storage (LDES) scheme are using lithium-ion BESS technology.
Projects supported by the UK government’s long-duration energy storage (LDES) cap-and-floor could significantly dampen price spreads but also affect non-LDES flexibility assets.
