Exide Technologies has secured a new contract with an Italian foundry specializing in structural castings for the machine and energy sectors, deploying its Solition Mega Three large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to support commercial and industrial (C&I) energy needs.

The UK is ramping up its energy transition with a £500 million (USD 672 million/EUR 580 million) battery storage platform aimed at delivering over 1 gigawatt (GW) of new capacity across the country.

With a planned battery capacity increase from 2.2 MWh to 12.6 MWh, the Wasaline ferry Aurora Botnia is set to operate with the largest marine battery hybrid system currently in service. Wärtsilä, selected as electrical integrator for the project, booked the order in Q3 2025, with commissioning targeted for early 2026.

Data centers already account for more than 2% of U.S. electricity consumption, and with artificial intelligence accelerating demand, the power gap is widening. Pacifico Energy’s proposed GW Ranch project in Pecos County, Texas aims to address that gap by going off-grid—bypassing utility interconnections and regulatory bottlenecks in favor of a purpose-built, self-contained system combining gas turbines and battery storage.

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.
