Replacing diesel with battery storage for reliable energy supply

In the quest for a more reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable energy future, many companies and communities are choosing to replace diesel generators with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This strategic shift not only aligns with global sustainability goals but also delivers significant operational, financial, and environmental benefits.

Hybrid energy storage systems: smarter than diesel alone – and the results prove It

The shift away from diesel-only power is no longer theoretical. Hybrid systems combining battery storage with diesel generators are now outperforming traditional setups in the field — with significant cost, performance, and environmental advantages. Continue reading “Hybrid energy storage systems: smarter than diesel alone – and the results prove It”

The EU is preparing a major shift in energy infrastructure – and energy storage is now the foundation.

The European Commission will launch its Energy Storage Package in Q4 2025 as part of a broader effort to reinforce Europe’s power grid and secure its energy future. The package aims to eliminate key barriers that have slowed storage deployment across member states.

Microsoft substitutes diesel powered generators with batteries in Swedish data center

Batteries are now replacing diesel generators, and Microsoft has made the switch official. Microsoft has replaced a data center’s diesel-powered backup with a large scale battery energy storage system (BESS) issued by Saft, a TotalEnergies subsidiary. Continue reading “Microsoft substitutes diesel powered generators with batteries in Swedish data center”

EV charging for trucks: optimizing driver rest and route efficiency with ESS

In today’s fast-evolving logistics industry, electric trucks are rapidly becoming the backbone of sustainable freight transport across Europe. However, strict regulations mandate that drivers take mandatory rest breaks every 4.5 hours to ensure safety and compliance. Continue reading “EV charging for trucks: optimizing driver rest and route efficiency with ESS”

The Spanish blackout: how would the ESS solve the major outage?

In late April 2025 a massive grid failure plunged much of Spain (and neighboring Portugal) into darkness.  Flights and transit halted, and hospitals had to rely on backup generators to keep critical equipment running. This event exposed how a loss of power can cascade across a region.
