The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has officially completed grid connection of its landmark battery energy storage project with the nameplate capacity of 7. The project spans three sites located in the Kingdom's southwestern regions - Najran, Khamis Mushait, and Madaya.
The European Commission (EC) has authorized a €279 million ($303 million) Czech state aid scheme to support investment into electricity storage facilities and foster the transition towards a net-zero economy.
The Armenian government offers tax rebates and capital grants covering up to 25% of project costs for grid-scale storage systems. For example, a recent 50 MW battery storage facility received $3.
Construction of three hybrid solar power plants in Suriname is underway to supply 25 villages with electricity. The plants, located in Daume, Cajana, and Galibi, will combine solar panels, battery storage, and backup diesel generators, providing 360 kWh per cluster.
Syria's Public Establishment for Transmission and Distribution of Electricity (PETDE) today signed a binding memorandum of understanding with Saudi construction company Mohammed Ahmed Al-Harfi to develop a 210-MW solar power plant paired with an 827-MWh battery energy storage system.
The project adopted Elecod 500kW/1075kWh container BESS, the system configured 4 units of Monet-125kW PCS, and integrates battery, fire protection, refrigeration, isolation transformer, dynamic environment monitoring and energy management, friendly grid adaptability, accepts.
When fire broke out at the world's largest battery energy storage facility in January 2025, its thick smoke blanketed surrounding wetlands, farms and nearby communities on the central California coast.
All-in BESS projects now cost just $125/kWh as of October 2025 2. With a $65/MWh LCOS, shifting half of daily solar generation overnight adds just $33/MWh to the cost of solar.
In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, emphasizing the fundamental role of new energy.
