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.

Münch Energie builds out Germany’s largest battery cluster, hands commercial side to Suena
Germany's largest contiguous battery storage project is now live, with an 800 MWh target by year-end. A marketing agreement with Suena Energy covering 300 MWh of the portfolio, including the country's largest grid-drawing co-location asset, delivers the first part of the commercial picture.
Iberdrola secures key approval and beats objections for standalone 1 GWh four-hour BESS in Australia
Spanish energy company Iberdrola’s plan to develop a 270 MW / 1,080 MWh battery energy storage system in northern New South Wales has received a boost with the state’s Independent Planning Commission giving its tick of approval.
Why Rhythm Energy turned to Origin’s Kinergy for its Texas VPP ambitions
In a first for North America, the Texas retailer is entering home battery aggregation, using Orign's Kinergy platform that comes out of Australia, along with interoperability specialist Intertrust. Co-founder Matthew Tolliver explains the choices, why residential batteries are the starting point, and the still strong friction in scaling VPPs.
India to reach 346 GWh of installed battery energy storage capacity by 2033
A new whitepaper projects India’s cumulative installed battery energy storage capacity to soar to 346 GWh by 2033, from currently less than 1 GWh. The report says the market is witnessing explosive growth, with a record 92 GWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in the pipeline now.
Why BESS insurers are sweating transformers and contractor errors over battery fires
The BESS insurance risk profile is shifting. In an exclusive interview, Tokio Marine GX underwriter Michael Carrington explains why insurers are looking past battery fires and sweating over supply chain bottlenecks, high-voltage transformers, and costly EPC integration errors.

The role of battery energy storage systems in sustainable data centers
While many data centres have started using solar power as part of their energy sources, they still depend on grid energy because of regulatory issues like discom regulations and banking policies. To enhance the use of green energy and lessen reliance on fossil-fuel-based grid electricity, combining battery energy storage systems (BESS) with hybrid solar and wind power systems is a practical solution.
Jinko rolls out SunTera systems as part of distributed battery program in Australia
JinkoSolar is progressing the installation and commissioning of 28 SunTera energy storage systems that have been deployed across multiple project sites in regional Victoria as part of an 84 MWh distributed battery energy storage program.
