Australia’s energy transition has reached another critical inflection point with the commissioning of the 125 MW/250 MWh Koorangie Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Victoria.

In 2024, 91% of new renewable energy projects worldwide delivered power at a lower cost than any new fossil fuel alternative, according to the latest data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

Europe’s ambition to become a global hub for energy storage system (ESS) manufacturing is facing a sobering reality check. As the Clean Energy Associates’ (CEA) Q2 2025 ESS Supply, Technology, and Policy Report outlines, while new policy frameworks like the EU’s Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CIDSAF) are designed to accelerate domestic energy storage production, a wave of cancelled or delayed projects suggests that economic headwinds and global supply pressures are undermining Europe’s manufacturing vision.

Scotland’s electricity grid, increasingly saturated with renewable energy, is under mounting pressure from intermittency and congestion. In response, battery energy…

A joint venture between Empower Renewables and Galileo Green Energy has secured planning consent for a 49.9MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in West Lothian, Scotland.

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) has won a 30 MW/120 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) contract from NHPC, marking a pivotal moment in India’s effort to strengthen grid reliability through utility-scale storage.

In the race to secure affordable, sustainable alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion technology has increasingly emerged as a viable contender.

VERBUND has selected Fluence Energy GmbH to deliver over 92 MW of battery-based energy storage systems, bolstering both grid reliability and market responsiveness.

Masdar and EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to co-develop offshore wind and battery energy storage systems across Germany and the UK.

As European power markets deepen their reliance on renewables, a new structural imbalance is emerging. While solar and wind capacity continues to surge, weakened demand and limited system flexibility are compressing capture rates and undermining standalone renewables’ profitability.
