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.

NatPower and Tesla have agreed to deploy more than 25 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across Europe, with the first five projects planned in Sicily and the United Kingdom under a partnership spanning storage technology, EPC services, and energy trading.
A different kind of volatility: battery revenues stay strong
April was defined by solar-driven oversupply and recurring negative prices. May told a different story. Wind generation dropped sharply, wholesale prices climbed, and ancillary services gained importance as the system searched for flexibility. Yet battery revenues barely moved. Lennard Wilkening, CEO of suena energy, explains why this is another reminder that successful battery trading depends less on any single market regime than on the ability to adapt across them.
Moonwatt showcases sodium-ion storage solutions for utility-scale applications
Dutch startup Moonwatt has presented new sodium-ion storage system for use in utility-scale PV plants at the Smarter E trade show in Munich, Germany, today. “Instead of relying on large, containerised systems, Moonwatt develops small, modular enclosures that are easier to mass-produce, install, maintain and replace,” a company’s spokesperson told pv magazine. “Moonwatt’s smaller battery […]
