Project owners BSTOR and Energy Solutions Group have started building separate BESS projects totalling 440MWh of capacity in Belgium, following financial close, both of which will use Tesla Megapacks.
Mumbai, 7th April, 2025 – Tata Power, India's largest integrated power company and a trusted electricity provider to approx. 8 lakh residential and commercial consumers, has received approval from the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) to install a 100 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Mumbai over the next two years.
Baghdad, Iraq – May 3, 2024 – Shanghai Nenghui Energy Storage Co. (Nenghui), a global leader in renewable energy solutions, has successfully commissioned a state-of-the-art 125kW solar + 330kW/763kWh energy storage system in Baghdad, Iraq.
The initial development of the project was undertaken by Dynegy Marketing and Trade (Dynegy), which was merged with Vistra Energy in April 2018. The project is located at the retired Moss Landing gas-fired power plant, which was built by PG&E near Moss Landing Harbor, Monterey County, California, US. The Moss Landing BESS phase one comprises a 300MW modular, fully integrated, pad-mounted lithium-ion battery energy storage system capable of holding 1,200MWh of electricity. The batteries were supplied by LG Energy Solution and have a. The battery energy storage facility is connected to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) grid via the existing 500kV. Luminant, a subsidiary of Vistra Energy, was engaged in the construction of the Moss Landing phase one battery storage project. Fluence, a global energy storage technology and services specialist based in the US, was the engineering contractor for the project.

The biggest project to come online during 2022 meanwhile was Crimson Energy Storage, also in California, which is 350MW/1,400MWh. Vistra has previously claimed it will have over 1.2GW of battery storage in its US portfolio by 2026.
Energy storage technologies, particularly lithium battery technology, are vital for the success of this facility. Lithium batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that store energy efficiently, making them commonly used in renewable energy systems.
"Continued investment in energy storage, like our Moss Landing site, allows us to harness and store a substantial and growing amount of power from intermittent renewables and then deliver that electricity when customers need it most."
The Moss Landing BESS phase one comprises a 300MW modular, fully integrated, pad-mounted lithium-ion battery energy storage system capable of holding 1,200MWh of electricity. The batteries were supplied by LG Energy Solution and have a discharge duration of four hours.
PG&E's new contract for Moss Landing Phase III, also known as MOSS350, is under a 15-year term and was approved by California regulators in April 2022. Vistra Energy noted that the expansion was completed on schedule within a 16-month timeframe, adding more than 110,000 battery modules in 112 containerised units.
Sydney-based renewables developer Ace Power and the local arm of Japanese energy giant Osaka Gas are seeking approval under the federal government's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act for a solar and battery energy storage project planned for central New South Wales (NSW).
Local governments are increasingly looking to solar energy resources and microgrids to support grid resilience. In the wake of recent hurricanes, wildfires, and other natural disasters, disaster preparedne.
Energy storage allows solar energy to be deployed at all times of the day or night, making the electricity grid more flexible to changes in demand. Solar coupled with battery storage also improves grid resiliency by providing a backup energy source for homeowners and businesses when storms or other emergencies cause a power failure.

Getting an early idea of the power and energy needs of critical de-vices can provide a sense of needed system sizing and help determine if the project's resilience goals can be feasibly met by solar+storage alone, or if other forms of onsite generation, such as combined heat and power systems and traditional backup gener

Communities should engage with their local utilities to encourage the deployment of solar-plus-storage systems. Utilities can facilitate this process through streamlined interconnection procedures, and utility-led initiatives such as demand response programs or incentives.
The facility, known as Chilca-BESS, is made up of 84 cabinets of lithium-ion batteries. Now in commercial operation, it is the largest energy storage system of its kind in Peru, according to the Peruvian ministry of energy and mining.
A state-owned solar-plus-storage project being developed in Mexico firmly establishes the shift in government thinking on energy storage, a local battery storage firm told Energy-Storage.
With Mexico's president-elect having announced an intent to attract renewables investment, energy storage was the subject of much discussion at the Intersolar Mexico trade show.
To integrate energy storage effectively into the Mexican energy mix, industry must lead the way in promoting links between academia, itself, government, and wider society to promote viable, scalable solutions.
The rewards would be huge as it has been estimated Mexico will require 2.3 GW of new energy storage projects through 2034, to avoid grid distortion.
