Cambodia's first and largest battery storage system, a 500MW/1000MWh facility in Pursat, is now operational, using grid-forming technology to stabilize the grid and support renewable energy growth.
Energoatom and Holtec International are planning to build a plant in Ukraine for the production of containers, which are currently made in the USA, for storage of used nuclear fuel.
Thanks to their resolve, russia is now unable to force Ukraine's reactors to shutdown for lack of used fuel storage capacity.
That journey has finally come to fruition as the country's National Nuclear Operator, Energoatom, has successfully moved the used fuel from its operating reactors to the Central Spent Fuel Storage Facility.
Some of the major equipment types being used by Ukraine include the HI-STORM 190 vertical ventilated storage system, the HI-STAR 190 Universal Transport Cask, the HI-TRAC 190 Transfer Cask, and an array of ancillary equipment to load, dehydrate, and weld the double wall Multiple Purpose Canisters at each operating plant site.
Not only does the CSFSF save approximately $200 Million each year to Ukraine's treasury (which was being remitted to russia for holding Ukraine's fuel), but it also removes Ukraine's strategic dependence on the russians that dates back to the country's independence.
DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, and Fluence Energy, a global energy storage company, have announced the early start of commissioning for Ukraine's largest battery energy storage project with 200 megawatts (MW) of connected power.

(Julia Kochetova/Bloomberg via Getty Images) This audio is created with AI assistance Ukraine's largest private energy company DTEK secured a $72-million loan to build one of the largest battery energy storage complexes in Eastern Europe, the company said on June 3.
The €140 million total investment aims to enhance power grid stability, bolstering Ukraine's energy security and independence. The project will be the biggest operational energy storage portfolio in Eastern Europe at the time of commissioning.
Ukraine's second most profitable bank, state-owned Oschadbank, state-owned Ukrgasbank, and PUMB will provide the funding for the project, which includes six energy storage installations across the country, totaling 200 megawatts to power 600,000 households.
It marked the largest ever private investment in Ukraine's energy sector. Unlike other state-owned energy companies in Ukraine, DTEK hasn't been able to secure funding from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
Kyiv wants to up this to 27% by 2030. Other similar energy storage systems in Eastern Europe include Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid's 200-MW units launched in 2023 and a 55-MW battery energy storage system in Razlog in southwestern Bulgaria that went online in 2024.
Together, they will store up to 400 MWh of electricity – enough to supply two hours of power to 600,000 homes (equivalent to roughly half the households in Kyiv).
Liquid Cooling Technology offers a far more effective and precise method of thermal management. By circulating a specialized coolant through channels integrated within or around the battery modules, it can absorb and dissipate heat much more efficiently than air.
This initiative is part of a broader national strategy to modernize its aging grid and involves installing rooftop solar panel systems and battery energy storage systems (BESS) on 131 homes in the southern Batken-New Town, with plans to expand to other regions.
Setting up a battery energy storage system manufacturing plant requires strategic investment in advanced technology, raw material sourcing, skilled workforce, and quality control measures.
A new Lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility has opened in Thailand under a joint venture between smart energy solutions provider Banpu Next and Singapore-headquartered energy storage solutions provider Durapower.
Thailand may lack the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) necessary to navigate supply and demand challenges. The 2024 PDP draft included 10,000 MW of BESS, but this may see the country struggle to fulfil carbon neutrality and Net Zero commitments over the coming decades.
The battery cabinet and PCS enclosure also adopt high protection level. Hence, the energy storage system can maintain efficient yield without derating in hot and wet environment in Thailand.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are essential for buildings and renewable power generation facilities to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply. Renewable sources like solar and wind power are intermittent, and influenced by weather patterns. BESS mitigates this issue by storing electricity for future use.
Their total combined storage capacity was 994 MW. Interestingly, this allowed generators to sign semi-firm power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) with minimum availability guarantees. Many solar projects in Thailand have non-firm PPAs in place due to a lack of storage on site.
This is partly due to a lack of clarity on how battery storage fits into existing electricity infrastructure. In 2022, the Thai government approved 24 BESS projects, all of which were located alongside solar operations. Their total combined storage capacity was 994 MW.
The Federation of Thai Industries' Renewable Energy Industry Club sees potential in sodium-ion battery (SIB) production as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries. SIBs, made from rock salt, could offer a new business opportunity given Thailand's abundant rock salt reserves.
A Norwegian-Canadian designer and manufacturer of energy storage solutions for marine propulsion Corvus Energy has launched its second battery manufacturing facility in Bergen, Norway.
This article will introduce the top 10 battery manufacturers in Norway, such as Morrow, FREYR Battery, and TECO 2030.These companies have made significant achievements in technological innovation, sustainable production, and international cooperation, contributing not only to the Norwegian economy, but also to the global green transition.
As a pioneer in the clean energy sector, Norway has also shown strength in battery manufacturing. As the global demand for sustainable energy solutions grows, Norwegian battery manufacturers are at the forefront of this change.
Instead, EV batteries in Norway are taken apart and sent for further sorting and recycling in Europe, North America and Asia. In Europe, the batteries often end up at a recycling plant.
Nordic Batteries also emphasizes sustainability in their production methods, using renewable energy sources throughout their manufacturing processes. Their battery designs consider the complete lifecycle, including potential second-life applications and eventual recycling, supporting circular economy principles.
Nordic Batteries is a company that assemble and custom lithium battery and energy storage solutions. With market and technical expertise, it provides solutions that drive the green transition in key industries such as marine and demanding industrial applications.
Nordic Batteries has received substantial investment from several Norwegian entities. Kongsberg Innovation, through its Pre-Såkorn Fond, provides significant financial backing and technical support. Vardar AS, an energy group owned by former Buskerud county municipalities, has invested in the company.
Home solar installations represent one of the most popular applications for 48V LiFePO4 batteries. These systems allow homeowners to store excess solar energy generated during peak sunlight hours for use during evenings, cloudy days, or power outages.
The world's first intelligent grid-forming photovoltaic and energy storage power station, tailored for ultra-high altitudes, low-temperatures and weak-grid scenarios, has been connected to the grid in Ngari Prefecture, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.
The energy storage power plants help improve the utilization rate of wind power, solar and other renewable sources, thus promoting the proportion of new energy consumption. In the first half of 2023, China's installed renewable energy capacity surpassed coal power for the first time in history.
"Key developments in energy storage technologies will play a pivotal role in integrating renewable energy sources and smart grids, thus enhancing the overall flexibility and efficiency of China's energy system," said Fei Zhi, vice-chairman of GCL Group.
China's energy storage manufacturing industry is already at the forefront of global standards and will continue to lead the industry in advanced power trading and grid integration technologies in the future, said Tian Qingjun, senior vice-president of Envision Group.
