Their partnership is set to deliver a world-first: 15.1GWh of energy storage across Saudi Arabia. BYD Energy Storage and SEC have finalised a deal to roll out 12.5GWh of new grid-scale battery storage, making it the largest project of its kind in the world. [pdf]
The project is led by Tsinghua University and involves nine institutions, including the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Beijing Institute of Technology, State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Company, Huaneng Inner Mongolia Energy Corporation, and China Mobile Group Design Institute Co., Ltd.

The project, considered the world's largest solar-storage project, will install 3.5GW of solar photovoltaic capacity and a 4.5GWh battery storage system. The project has commenced in November 2024. [pdf]
Huawei Digital Power, in collaboration with SchneiTec, has successfully commissioned Cambodia’s first-ever TÜV SÜD-certified grid-forming energy storage project, marking a key milestone in the country’s transition toward a sustainable energy future. [pdf]
Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196. [pdf]
The Harare Institute of Technology (HIT) is moving to establish a lithium processing plant, a strategic initiative designed to position Zimbabwe as a central hub in the global battery value chain, drive domestic value addition, and accelerate industrialisation in line with the country’s National Development Strategy 1 (NDS1).

Tesla is updating its utility-scale Megapack batteries as it seeks to stem the decline of its lucrative energy-storage business. The new battery product known as Megapack 3, which Tesla revealed late Monday, is a bid to lure utilities and data center developers that are desperate for power. [pdf]
The signed Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) between Hecate Global Renewables (HGR), Africa50 and the Ministry of Energy outlines a road map towards the development of 100MW renewable energy projects including BESS over two phases to expand the country’s electricity generation and supply infrastructure over the next years. [pdf]
As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown: This estimation shows that while the battery itself is a significant cost, the other components collectively add up, making the total price tag substantial. [pdf]
