PV manufacturer Canadian Solar will provide 705MWh of its BESS technology for three projects in Nova Scotia, Canada, and another 498MWh for a project in Texas, US.

Developer and IPP NextEra Energy Resources (NEER) is proposing to construct an up to 3GW standalone BESS across 260 acres of privately-owned land in Fresno County, California. 

Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) firm Invinity Energy Systems sold or won funding for 136.7MWh of product in 2023, while growing revenues 500%.

Being able to create a single contract for project delivery is perhaps the biggest advantage of vertically integrating battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing with system integration, according to the CEO of LG Energy Solution (LG ES) Vertech.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) put battery storage into the mainstream of the US energy industry, but also created supply chain complexities, writes Rauni Jaskari of Wärtsilä Energy Storage and Optimisation (Wärtsilä ES&O).

Trina Storage’s new 10MWh battery storage product is claimed by the company to be the first in the US to include full cell-to-AC system integration from a single vendor.

Rankings by EY of the most attractive markets for renewable energy investment include battery storage, with US, China and UK as frontrunners.

Recurrent Energy has closed US$513 million financing on a battery storage project in Arizona, US, which has a 20-year utility tolling agreement in place.

System integrator Stem Inc and developer Prometheus Power have deployed the first of three co-located BESS projects in Arizona for utilities in the AEPCO co-operative.

US$5 million will be made available for long-duration energy storage (LDES) projects via a competitive solicitation run by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
