Summary: Beirut's new 100 MW/400 MWh battery storage facility is set to transform Lebanon's energy landscape. In June 2025, GSL ENERGY successfully delivered and commissioned a 2MW / 4. 6MWh liquid cooling commercial and industrial energy storage system for a plastic manufacturing facility in Lebanon—a region frequently affected by grid instability and electricity shortages. The LCEC Lebanon Solar PV Park 1. storage projects have emerged as critical solutions for urban resilience. Beirut faces chronic electricity shortages, with daily outages averaging 6-8 hours in industrial zones. 2 billion annually in lost productivity.
The MIT Energy Initiative's (MITEI) Future Energy Systems Center will fund ten new energy projects, with topics ranging from the intersections between energy and artificial intelligence (AI) to long duration energy storage, all focused on advancing the energy transition. In collaboration with a renowned Technical University, we are joining efforts to optimize photovoltaic (PV) parks through the development of advanced hardware and software solutions. Exhibition attendees even had the opportunity to get a firsthand look at this. On April 10, the 13th International Energy Storage Summit and Exhibition (ESIE 2025) officially opened at the Beijing Capital International Exhibition Center. Solar PV and wind will together contribute 30%, surpassing hydropower for the first time. However, the variable nature of these sources leaves critical gaps in its wake. A key component of that is the development, deployment, and utilization of bi-directional electric energy storage.

Portuguese utility EDP (ELI:EDP) has commenced the operation of the 240-MWh Punta de Talca battery energy storage system (BESS) in Chile, its first in South America. The BESS project required an investment of approximately USD 44 million (EUR 38m). With 23 energy storage projects already approved, totaling an impressive 3,000 MW of capacity, Chile is at the forefront of innovation and efficiency in Latin America. During its recent participation in COP28 in Dubai, Chile not only reaffirmed its commitment to renewable energy, but also. In November 2025, Generadora Metropolitana, a joint venture between AME and EDF Power Solutions Chile, officially announced the commencement of construction on the Dune Plus energy storage project in María Elena, Antofagasta Region, Chile. It proposed a law to allow the tender of 2 GW of BESS at a $2 billion cost.

In an announcement released on March 7, 2025, the executive arm of the European Union said that the Czech scheme will support the installation of at least 1. 5 GWh of new electricity storage facilities. Commission approves €279 million Czech State aid scheme to support investments in energy storage. The Czech Republic has rapidly updated its regulatory framework for battery energy storage systems (BESS) in line with EU directives. Historically, storage was not separately regulated (beyond pumped hydro being treated as generation). Recent Energy Act amendments (Lex OZE/“Lex RES III”) have. Czechia's battery energy storage (BESS) market is entering a structural inflection point, driven by the convergence of regulatory liberalization, accelerating project pipelines, and rapidly evolving market-based revenue opportunities.
