Billions raised, early stages on delivery: can alternative LDES close the gap?

3 days ago

Lithium-ion retains a structural cost advantage for durations up to 8-10 hours, but beyond 12 hours, some alternative technologies (liquid-air, CO₂ batteries, iron-air) show competitive theoretical levelised costs. The 2026 tenders will determine which can transition from demonstration to commercial deployment, as the window for proving viability narrows with lithium-ion prices falling 10-15% annually.

Germany Battery Buildout Report: Capacity growth hits record high in 2025

Battery Buildout

5 days ago

Germany's grid-scale battery buildout hit a record year in 2025, with installed capacity now standing at 2.4 GW. But BESS additions come in slower than pipeline projections assumed, as grid connections delay operations starts. Where does this leave the saturation outlook for other batteries, and where do Gigawatt projects and co-location fit into the mix?

BESS in Germany's upcoming Capacity Market: What we know so far

6 days ago

Germany just unveiled the path into Europe's potentially largest capacity market. From this year, there will be auctions with 41 GW of capacity on offer for delivery in 2031. For BESS, the competition from gas and the yet undetermined de-rating factors will determine the economic opportunity.
