The mayor of a town in Germany has allocated land at a former nuclear power plant site for a 120MW/280MWh BESS, after the government rejected plans to use it for storing nuclear waste.

Solar PV inverter and battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturer Sungrow has signed a strategic supply agreement with Gulf Energy Development in Thailand.

Software for modelling technical and economic performance, seismic activity certification for flow batteries and underwriting for BESS projects, in this edition of news in brief from around the world in energy storage.

Energy security concerns are very real, but jumping into a ‘dash for gas’ would be a mistake, and LNG is not the answer, writes Eric Dresselhuys, CEO of ESS Inc.

Developer Better Energy is deploying its first battery energy storage system (BESS), a 10MW/12MWh system, at one of its solar PV plants in Denmark.

Google, Microsoft, and Nucor Corporation have issued a request for information (RFI) for innovative clean electricity technologies.

Primergy has signed a “long-term” power purchase agreement (PPA) with California community energy supplier San Diego Community Power (SDCP).

For many years now, Spain has been one of the leading European markets for solar PV but has yet to meet the same outcome for energy storage. Sungrow has high expectations for this to happen in the coming years.

There is a four-fold difference between how much energy storage the US Department of Energy (DOE) forecasted would be deployed by 2040 before the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and how much it now forecasts.

What is thought to be the largest vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) at a solar farm in Europe has been switched on by Enel Green Power in Mallorca, Spain.
