Projects & Applications
The global pipeline of energy storage projects is growing rapidly across a variety of market segments, including distributed, grid-scale, off-grid and second-life projects.
From increasing solar self-consumption, reducing consumption peaks, providing flexibility to the electricity system, to deferring costly investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure, the range of applications which energy storage devices can provide is constantly evolving.
To build a robust business case, however, most storage facilities need to provide several services.

General Motors to supply Redwood Materials with new and second-life batteries for stationary storage
US President Donald Trump has declared his disdain for electric vehicles (EVs) and with sales disappointing, carmakers who invested heavily in battery production could follow General Motors' (GM) lead and diversify into stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS).
EUPD Research: Home storage grows across Europe in first half of 2025
In the first six months of 2025, home storage demand was rather subdued in the more mature battery markets such as Germany and Italy. Meanwhile, it increased significantly in other European countries such as Austria, France, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. One driver for the expansion is falling prices, with EUPD Research determining the average selling price for home storage systems at €711/kWh in the first half of the year.
nTeaser: Investors increasingly interested in solar-plus-storage in Italy
'Many of the indicative offers submitted through nTeaser are conditional on successful participation in the MACSE auction, highlighting the central role of this mechanism in de-risking battery energy storage system (BESS) investment and making projects bankable,' nTeaser CEO Carmen Izquierdo Serrano told pv magazine Italia.
Record wave of grid-forming batteries progressing in Australia
An unprecedented wave of solar, wind, and energy storage projects progressing through the grid connection process, the Australian energy market operator has reported. It has also made deploying grid‑forming batteries, which can provide system stability via synthetic inertia, a central strategic objective in its latest annual engineering roadmap.

Battery storage for Germany’s energy transition: Unlocking untapped potential
Germany's energy transition is making significant progress: In the first half of 2024, the share of renewable energy in the electricity mix rose to 57 %. This new influx of renewable energy is pushing the power grid to its limits. Battery energy storage systems and an optimized redispatch procedure could play a key role in improving the integration of renewables and alleviating grid congestion. However, some hurdles still need to be overcome, according to Benedikt Deuchert of Kyon Energy.
