The EASE Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe.
They are marketed as portable power packs certified to UL 2743, the Standard for Portable Power Packs, and are sold with a panel/switch certified to UL 1741, the Standard for Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection System Equipment for Use with Distributed Energy Resources.
This Compliance Guide (CG) covers the design and construction of stationary energy storage systems (ESS), their component parts and the siting, installation, commissioning, operations, maintenance, and repair/renovation of ESS within the built environment with evaluations of those ESSs against voluntary sector standards and model codes that have been published and adopted as of the publication date of this CG.
The African Development Bank (AfDB) has committed $1. 2 million to fund a feasibility study on Nigeria's Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), a project aimed at strengthening the national grid and accelerating the country's transition to cleaner energy.
The energy storage plants will be located at three sites in Selebipik, Madaniel and Juangen, where the country's first large-scale solar PV plants (100MW each) are planned to be built. Their operational dates are set for 2025 and 2026,respectively.
In 2024, the cumulative global BESS capacity reached an impressive 150 GW / 363 GWh and soared in market value to over $90 billion (USD). While BESS projects are expanding globally, a few key regions are leading the way, including China, the USA, Europe, and Australia.
