As Europe races to build a more flexible electricity system, battery energy storage is rapidly becoming one of the sector’s most strategic investments. Swiss utility Alpiq has reinforced that trend…
A landmark auction, but not the real story Italy’s first MACSE auction was widely hailed as a landmark moment for battery energy storage. The numbers appeared impressive enough on their…
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are now central to electricity system operation, yet the analytical frameworks used to value and dispatch them remain structurally incomplete. The core issue is the…
Investment Summary Greece’s solar PV and battery storage market is transitioning into a structurally differentiated investment environment where returns are increasingly determined not by technology type alone, but by the…
For years, discussions about Romania’s energy transition focused on a familiar challenge: how quickly the country could deploy new renewable generation. Today, a different question is emerging. As solar capacity…
How inverter-based power systems are turning grid reliability into a tradable service For most of the history of electricity systems, stability was not something engineers needed to explicitly procure. It…
Chile’s National Energy Commission (CNE) has released the preliminary terms for its 2026/01 electricity supply tender, seeking 2,835 GWh of electricity per year through long-term contracts. This is a technology-neutral…
European Energy will commission a 25 MW / 65 MWh battery energy storage system in Anykščiai, Lithuania, combining battery storage with its existing 78.5 MW solar park to support grid…
Chile’s energy transition in 2026 is no longer defined by questions of ambition, resource availability or even technology cost. Those debates have largely been resolved in favour of a clear…
Plans to develop a 600MW Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) facility, which will use excess renewable energy to generate green hydrogen for electricity generation, have today been unveiled. Known as…
ACCIONA Energía has announced the construction of a new 1GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Chile’s Atacama Desert, doubling its planned energy storage capacity in the country and reinforcing…
