BESS are becoming more attractive
As battery energy storage system costs plunge, energy price volatility is shortening payback times for storage solutions. This shift, driven by a surge in intermittently generating renewables, and ongoing innovations in battery manufacturing, marks a pivotal moment for energy markets worldwide.
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.
Production to disposal: Addressing toxicity in lithium batteries
As we strive for an equitable and sustainable energy future, addressing safety and toxicity challenges is driving the search for innovative, lithium-free battery technology that can offer comparable performance without compromising safety or environmental impact.

Future-proofing battery energy storage system investment
Energy losses and advances in battery technology can affect utility-scale storage asset performance over time. Jordan Perrone, senior project development engineer at Depcom Power, explains how planning for battery storage augmentation from the start can simplify future upgrades down the line.
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.
