Romania’s compressed-air project revives focus on long-duration electricity grid storage. Airengy and Hagag Europe are targeting salt-cavern storage as Europe searches for alternatives to short-duration lithium systems.
-
Hungary’s largest battery project moves grid flexibility forward across Europe. Greenvolt’s Buj system adds nearly 289MWh of storage capacity to a market scaling fast from a low operational base.
-
Battery storage planning has gained a clearer technical reference point. The ESN guide covers fire safety, land use, noise, biodiversity, cybersecurity, emergency response, traffic, and electromagnetic fields.
-
Socomec is extending storage hardware across cabinet and containerised systems. SMARTSYS C260 and M5000 cover commercial energy management, EV charging support, utility-scale BESS, and medium-voltage grid services.
-
JA’s rebrand moves its centre beyond photovoltaic modules alone globally. The structure combines solar, storage, smart energy, and capital services.
-
EDF is widening flexibility access for asset-metered distributed technologies nationwide. P483 allows eligible devices on standard-metered sites to join flexibility markets through dedicated asset meters.
-
European battery storage supply activity is widening across multiple markets. CATL, Rolls-Royce, Fluence, and regional developers are advancing grid-scale projects in Northern Europe, Latvia, and Poland.
-
Devilla has gained public investment for Scottish transmission-connected battery storage. CIP will retain a majority stake in the 500MW/1,000MWh project.
-
Carlow has been selected for Ireland’s proposed 600MW storage scheme. Rathrush would combine green hydrogen production with underground long-duration energy storage.
-
DRI has secured project finance for Poland’s Trzebinia battery scheme. The 133MW asset will support capacity, reserve, and balancing services from 2027.
