Battery diagnostics expert urges earlier fire detection for grid-scale BESS A battery diagnostics specialist says grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) safety should focus more on detecting early warning signs in operational data than adding more sensors or fire suppression equipment after high-profile incidents.

Heatwave, weak wind push battery revenues higher in June June brought another month of scarce but favorable market conditions for battery trading, as high temperatures, weak wind generation and a prolonged heatwave continued to shape electricity markets and influence price dynamics across wholesale and ancillary service markets. Lennard Wilkening, CEO of Suena Energy, explains what drove the market and why dynamic multi-market optimization remains key to capturing value.

India’s battery storage market faces volatility, seeks new growth India’s severe heatwaves in April and May, followed by a delayed southwest monsoon, have highlighted the growing challenge of balancing one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable power systems. As solar capacity continues to expand and grid constraints become more apparent, India’s battery energy storage sector is at a pivotal stage.

Flexibility shapes Europe’s storage future: Signals from China’s supply chain  InfoLink Consulting says Europe's energy storage capacity additions will reach about 44.3 GWh in 2026, up more than 60% year-on-year, as flexibility rather than cost overtakes generation as the industry's defining theme.

A different kind of volatility: Battery revenues remain strong in May 2026 April was defined by solar-driven oversupply and recurring negative prices. May told a different story. Wind generation dropped sharply, wholesale prices climbed, and ancillary services gained importance as the system searched for flexibility. Yet battery revenues barely moved. Lennard Wilkening, CEO of suena energy, explains why this is another reminder that successful battery trading depends less on any single market regime than on the ability to adapt across them.
