France has taken a major step in expanding its energy storage capacity with the activation of a 100 MW/200 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at the port of Nantes-Saint-Nazaire.

China’s installed energy storage capacity climbed to 164.3 GW by June 2025, according to the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA), marking a 59% increase compared to the previous year.

Spain’s Fundación Ciudad de la Energía (CIUDEN) has completed operational testing of a sodium-sulfur (NaS) battery storage facility designed to integrate with green hydrogen production.

Global demand for lithium-ion batteries is projected to more than double within the next five years, driven by the expansion of electric mobility, grid-scale storage, and consumer electronics. While cell chemistry has advanced rapidly, the electrode manufacturing process remains a major bottleneck in both cost and energy efficiency.

As New York races to meet its 2030 goal of six gigawatts of battery storage capacity, opposition to siting lithium-ion facilities in residential and commercial districts is intensifying. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has stepped into the debate, voicing concern over the risks posed by battery energy storage systems (BESS) in densely populated areas and pledging new federal safety guidance tailored for municipalities on Long Island.

Australia’s push to expand renewable energy and storage capacity faces a familiar bottleneck: trust between developers and local communities. A new federal initiative, the Developer Rating Scheme, aims to address that challenge by scoring renewable and storage companies on governance, financial stability, and community engagement, with the first results expected after March 2026.

The UK’s battery energy storage sector (BESS) completed just 1.5GW of capacity in 2024, a 28% decline from 2023 installations,…
