Industry sources including ex-Fluence executives discuss what the next era for the rapidly-evolving BESS technology landscape looks like, including the move to AC blocks and changing battery cell sizes.

CATL is the world’s largest lithium-ion manufacturer, and a major player in BESS too, and made headlines earlier this year when it claimed five years of ‘zero degradation’ for its new grid-scale product Tener.

A team of technical staff working for the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) has given its recommendation to approve a request from Boise, ID-headquartered utility Idaho Power to develop a 150MW standalone BESS at its Boise Bench substation located in Ada County, Idaho. 

Augmentation and end-of-life disposal look set to grow in significance in the next few years in the US, with nearly 1.5GW/3GWh of BESS projects now four years old or more.

‘Not all providers are equal’ and using different ones for the same project has not proved problematic when it comes to BESS project augmentation, an executive from investment manager Gresham House said.

CATL, the world’s largest lithium-ion OEM, has given more details around its new battery energy storage system (BESS) product, Tener, including how it claims to have achieved no degradation in the first five years of operation.

Battery storage thrives on energy market volatility meaning there will be good years and bad years, a panellist at Solar Media’s Renewable Energy Revenues Summit 2024 said last week.

Utility EWS AG and developer MW Storage have completed the expansion of a battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Switzerland from 20MW to 28MW, making it the country’s largest.
