Australia’s energy transition hinges on a single figure: up to 95% variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration in the National Energy Market by 2030, according to CSIRO and AEMO modeling. Reaching that threshold, necessary for the country to hit its 43% emissions-reduction target by 2030 and net zero by 2050, requires storage technologies that can deliver reliable, multi-hour power far beyond the capabilities of lithium-ion systems.

Global EV adoption is accelerating faster than most recycling systems can keep up. Waste from end-of-life batteries, just 500,000 tons in 2019, is projected by researchers to reach eight million tons by 2040, underscoring a widening gap between electrification targets and the infrastructure required to support them.

Fluence Energy’s evaluation of India as a battery energy storage system manufacturing hub confronts a market paradox: ambitious capacity projections…

Global primary energy intensity, the key metric for measuring improvements in energy efficiency, is projected to rise by 1.8% in 2025, according to the IEA’s latest Energy Efficiency 2025 report, an improvement from 1% in 2024 but still far below the 4% annual increase agreed at COP28 for 2030.

EnergyPathways’ newly announced non-binding cooperation agreement with Siemens Energy positions compressed air energy storage (CAES) as a potential tool for absorbing surplus renewable electricity and delivering multi-day, low-carbon power, a capability conventional battery systems cannot economically provide at scale.

The global build-out of utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is rapidly shifting from project-by-project procurement to multi-gigawatt platform agreements, a trend underscored by the recently announced Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Trina Storage, a division of Trinasolar, and Pacific Green Energy Group.

ACCIONA Energía’s plan to install a 1GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at its 238MWp Malgarida photovoltaic complex reflects a broader shift in Chile’s solar-heavy power market: the need to convert daytime oversupply into flexible, dispatchable capacity.

Associated British Ports Southampton and BW ESS will develop a battery energy storage system at Marchwood Industrial Park following New…

Bangalore-based Enectron Energy Storage Systems Private Limited is stepping in with a new line of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) aimed at utility-scale and commercial-industrial applications, designed to provide scalable, reliable, and safe power solutions for a grid transitioning toward 100 percent clean energy.

Bimergen Energy Corporation has formalized a Joint Development Agreement with Eos Energy Enterprises to accelerate the deployment of long-duration battery energy storage projects across key U.S. grids, including ERCOT, MISO, WECC, and PJM.
