Sodium-ion battery cells already near lithium-ion cost parity, set to get cheaper
By 2050, sodium-ion batteries with fast learning rates could deliver storage at 11–14 €/MWh – cheaper than lithium-ion at 16–22 €/MWh – while also offering higher energy-to-power ratios and high cycle durability, a new research finds.
Power Mech awarded 2 GWh battery storage project in India
Power Mech Projects Ltd has secured a contract to develop a 250 MW / 1,000 MWh standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) at Goaltore, Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis. The agreement includes a greenshoe option for an additional 250 MW / 1,000 MWh at the Durgapur Project Ltd (DPL) campus. Awarded by West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd (WBSEDCL), the project features a 100% off-take guarantee.
Germany adds 6.57 GWh of battery storage capacity in 2025, total capacity hits 24 GWh
The expansion of stationary battery storage in Germany reached an estimated 6.57 GWh in 2025, representing an 8% increase compared with the previous year. Total installed battery storage capacity in Germany now stands at around 24 GWh, according to analyses by the Battery Charts data platform of the Institute for Power Electronics and Electrical Drives (ISEA) at RWTH Aachen University.

When battery imbalance turns 11% of capacity into stranded energy
A 350 MWh battery storage system is delivering significantly less energy than expected without the battery management system detecting the issue. The result is chronic overestimation of tradable energy volumes and potentially five-figure weekly balancing energy costs. This is one of the real-world failure scenarios we will explore and show how to avoid at the upcoming Battery Business & Development Forum on April 1.
