The MENA region – the next hot market for energy storage! “The MENA region – the next hot market for energy storage?” I asked in an article back in October 2017. It took a bit longer than I expected, but seven years later it’s time to replace the question mark with an exclamation mark. It’s hot indeed.

Standalone battery storage in Romania: PUZ or Pause As the Romanian Ministry of Energy takes steps to encourage investments in standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) through support schemes and an improved tariff regime, one regulatory challenge seems to have caught both investors and local authorities off-guard: a zonal urban plan (PUZ) is still necessary for developing standalone BESS on extra muros agricultural land. Mihaela Nyerges, managing partner, and Paraschiv Sandu, associate at Nyerges & Partners, are elaborating on the requirements.

Energy storage is a solved problem There are thousands of extraordinarily good pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) sites around the world with extraordinarily low capital costs. When coupled with batteries, the resulting hybrid systems offer large energy storage, low cost for both energy and power, and rapid response. Storage is a solved problem.
