battery energy storage

Sunraycer Renewables LLC, a developer, owner, and operator of clean energy power sites, on September 9 the execution of two revenue swap agreements with ENGIE Energy Marketing North America (EEMNA), part of ENGIE North America, to support its Midpoint and Gaia battery energy storage projects in Texas. The agreements will facilitate construction and operations of […]

The increasing power demands of data centers are adding urgency to grid resiliency and renewable energy projects. Data center electricity use is expected to grow 300% by 2035 as hyperscale cloud computing companies race to adopt new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI). Renewable energy and microgrid solutions will play an essential role in the digitalized and electrified future.

The Georgia Public Service (PSC) Commission has unanimously approved Georgia Power’s 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), authorizing a massive energy expansion to accommodate what the utility calls “extraordinary” growth in electricity demand. The PSC’s approval on July 15 allows the Southern Co. subsidiary to proceed with major capacity extensions at its flagship coal, gas, and […]

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has approved the Darden Clean Energy Project, which the agency said is the first to be fast-tracked under the group’s Opt-In Certification program. The commission said the installation features 1,150 MW, or 4,600 kWh, of battery energy storage, along with a 1,150-MW solar array with about 3.1-million panels.

Agilitas Energy, a developer and operator of renewable energy and energy storage systems, announced the commissioning of a 9.96-MW/22.4-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Houston, Texas. The project marks the first distributed generation BESS interconnected to CenterPoint Energy’s distribution system and participating in Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT)’s wholesale delivery market.

A battery energy storage system (BESS) described as the largest deployed to date in the European Union (EU) has been commissioned in Bulgaria. Officials with the country’s Ministry of Energy said the 124-MW/496.2-MWh BESS, also the largest in the Balkans, supports the stability of Bulgaria’s power grid along with its transition to the use of more renewable energy resources.

Fluence Energy, a global group that delivers intelligent energy storage systems, services, and asset optimization software, announced the start of production at a new manufacturing facility in Goodyear, Arizona. The facility that opened May 20 will produce enclosures made with U.S. steel and battery management system (BMS) hardware for Fluence’s grid-scale energy storage systems.

The energy industry, and particularly those participating in renewables, battery storage, and electric mobility, and their supply chain (solar panels, wind turbines, battery components, etc.), are facing

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are revolutionizing how energy is managed. These systems are critical for improving grid efficiency, integrating renewable energy, and ensuring a reliable power supply. As their adoption grows, the need to focus on practical design and cost optimization has never been more apparent. Standalone BESS projects can achieve greater efficiency, lower […]

Does it really make sense to manufacture new batteries for energy storage systems when a much better alternative is already available? How second-life electric vehicle (EV) batteries can enhance energy
