Overall BESS quality has massively improved, but safety incidents make headlines
Any discussion about the quality of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects must consider safety. This was something that all three of the panelists who participated in pv magazine’s Focus event at The Smarter E in Munich last week agreed upon.
In Conversation: ‘Good time to be battery storage developer’
At Intersolar Europe 2024, ESS News spoke with George Hilton, research and analysis manager at S&P Global, about the state of play in the battery energy storage supply chain and falling prices. According to Hilton, the overcapacity at every level of the supply chain has led to prices that are no longer sustainable for many market players. Meanwhile, technological innovation has led to an unprecedented variety of battery storage technologies on offer, and for a great number of markets the right time to jump in is now.
In Conversation: Wärtsilä’s strategy of concentration
Go big or go home might be the new motto in the battery energy storage industry, but some players are taking a more thoughtful approach. pv magazine ESS News caught up with Wärtsilä Energy Storage & Optimisation (ES&O) at last week’s Smarter E in Munich to discuss its business and technology strategies.
