The European Commission has approved a €59 million Slovenian state aid scheme to support the deployment of 370 MWh of new battery energy storage systems (BESS), reinforcing the European Union’s broader strategy to strengthen electricity networks while accelerating decarbonization.
Natural hydrogen sits in an unusual position in the energy transition: geologically documented across multiple continents, commercially attractive in principle,…
Aluminum is becoming an increasingly important decarbonization target for electric vehicle manufacturers because its production is energy intensive and the…
Jinko ESS and Dutch energy storage developer Eturn have expanded their collaboration with the deployment of a 40 MWh utility scale battery energy storage project in Germany. The project reflects a broader trend in the European storage market, where developers are moving beyond pilot installations toward larger commercial assets designed to participate in wholesale electricity markets and provide grid services.
Germany’s growing renewable electricity surplus has created an increasingly expensive challenge for grid operators. As wind and solar generation outpaces transmission capacity in certain regions, particularly in northern Germany, renewable electricity is frequently curtailed to maintain grid stability.
Germany’s proposed overhaul of electricity network charges has triggered concern across the hydrogen industry, with developers warning that extending grid fees to electrolysis could undermine the economics of renewable hydrogen production.
