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.

Sodium-ion vs lithium-ion BESS: Cost parity not before 2031
“Europe needs massive investments in energy storage to achieve true independence. This requirement cannot be met by a single technology, let alone by depending on a single geographic area. The goal is therefore to build a storage industry and a broader grid infrastructure under the control of Western countries. A strategic and ambitious goal that will take time,” Dario Bertagna, senior managing director and co-head of Clean Energy at Capital Dynamics, told pv magazine Italia.
Engie inaugurates its first battery system connected to a wind farm
The storage system is located next to the Kallpa Wind Farm in the municipality of Taltal, Antofagasta Region, and has a capacity of 57 MW / 285 MWh. This initiative is part of Engie Chile's strategy to expand its renewable energy and storage portfolio in the country.

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.
