The project encompasses the construction of a solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) minigrid to be built on the island of Buka, within the autonomous region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. It will address the electricity needs of the region, which relies heavily on diesel generators. [pdf]
Advanced Battery Chemistry: Israeli researchers are developing novel battery compositions that dramatically increase energy density while reducing production costs. These innovations include silicon-based anodes, solid-state electrolytes, and materials that extend battery lifespans. [pdf]
In 2022, a German-Komoran consortium deployed Africa’s first island-scale battery storage system (4.8MWh capacity). The results? Project lead Dr. Amina Said famously joked: “We’re not just storing electrons – we’re storing economic potential.” [pdf]
In 2023 alone, Ukraine shipped over $420 million worth of lithium-ion batteries globally, marking a 67% year-on-year increase. Not bad for a market that didn’t even crack the top 20 exporters list five years ago!. [pdf]

NamPower, Namibia's state-owned power utility, has signed a contract with a Chinese joint venture to build the first utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in the country and the Southern African region. [pdf]
New research coming out of the University of Iceland introduces the novel idea of adding EES technologies such as Lithium-ion batteries across the country’s grid to store it’s 100 percent renewably sourced electricity, effectively creating the world’s first renewable “green battery.” [pdf]
Hungarian energy company MOL is building an electricity storage system with a capacity of 40 megawatt-hours (MWh) at the MOL Petrochemicals site in Tiszaújváros. It will be the largest battery storage facility in Hungary, installed directly next to the end consumer. [pdf]
With natural gas prices doing the cha-cha slide since 2022, Luxembourg’s bet on energy storage looks less like a gamble and more like a prophecy. The group recently deployed a 20MW/80MWh lithium-ion system that’s basically a giant power bank for Luxembourg City. [pdf]
Implementing immersion cooling brings several measurable benefits: Eliminates hot spots and ensures consistent temperature distribution, allowing cells to operate under optimal conditions. Reduces the risk of overheating, short circuits, and thermal runaway, improving system stability. [pdf]
Square lithium batteries, also known as prismatic batteries, feature a rectangular shape that allows for efficient space utilization in various applications, particularly in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. [pdf]
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries offer several advantages, including long cycle life, thermal stability, and environmental safety. However, they also have drawbacks such as lower energy density compared to other lithium-ion batteries and higher initial costs. [pdf]
LFP is the undisputed leader for stationary BESS in 2025. It delivers the best balance of safety, cost, performance and regulatory acceptance. It is widely bankable, readily available and already in use across residential, commercial and utility-scale projects globally. [pdf]
