Vallourec has signed a memorandum of understanding with Baker Hughes aimed squarely at the compression storage interface, a segment where efficiency losses and capital intensity frequently undermine project bankability.

Statkraft has commissioned what it describes as Ireland’s first four-hour grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System at its Cushaling site in County Offaly, a move that targets curtailment economics as much as grid stability.

Uzbekistan has taken a significant step toward modernizing its power sector with the commercial start of a 501-megawatt-hour battery energy storage system at ACWA Power’s Riverside Solar project, according to a filing on the Saudi stock exchange.

Grid-scale battery installations have grown from niche applications to critical infrastructure components in four years. Global utility-scale battery power capacity…

Tesla’s agreement to pay Nevada $200,000 for operating battery recycling equipment without an air quality permit exposes a quieter risk in the clean transport transition: regulatory oversight struggling to keep pace with rapidly scaling industrial processes.

Global electrolyzer manufacturing capacity has expanded faster than confirmed hydrogen projects, creating a widening gap between supply and near-term demand. That imbalance is now reshaping industrial strategies in Spain, where Cummins’ green hydrogen electrolyzer plant in Guadalajara is facing a workforce reduction after failing to meet production and job creation expectations tied to public funding.

Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that battery related recalls now account for a growing share of electric vehicle safety actions in the US, even as overall EV fire incidents remain statistically rare compared with internal combustion vehicles.

The strategic recalibration underway at Korea’s leading battery manufacturers reflects a hard data point confronting the North American market. After years of capacity expansion tied to electric vehicle growth forecasts, US automakers are now pulling back.

Samsung SDI and Korea East-West Power have signed a memorandum of understanding at the StarPlus Energy facility in Indiana, marking a strategic collaboration aimed at accelerating energy storage system (ESS) deployment and renewable energy initiatives globally.

Tesla closed at $411.11 on February 6, gaining 3.5%, before extending modest overnight gains to $414.13.
