Ørsted has broken ground on a BESS development co-located with onshore substation infrastructure for Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm in the UK.

With the price of BESS continuing to fall, there is an ongoing discussion in the industry around the limitations of manufacturer warranties and how analytics can unlock untapped revenues.

ESN Premium speaks with Anna Darmani, energy storage analyst at Wood Mackenzie, about Europe’s sector evolution.

The UK now has nearly 9GWh of grid-scale BESS online, with more than double that figure under construction.

The capabilities of lithium-ion battery storage in providing long-duration energy storage to global energy systems should not be overlooked, write Kotub Uddin and Sam Secher of Envision.

Energy software and consulting group Ascend Analytics CEO Gary Dorris discusses changes to ancillary services in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market and what asset optimisers need to do to stay ahead of the curve.

A fire broke out at an under-construction BESS project in Essex, England, on 19 February and was brought under control and then handed back to site management a day later.

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.

Germany and the UK are currently Europe’s ‘hottest’ markets for battery storage, but others present exciting opportunities, too.

Despite a 12% year-on-year fall in the capacity of newly submitted planning applications in 2024, there is still a strong interest in the UK energy storage market as a whole.
