AI generated summary

Habitat Energy has announced its plans to optimize Eni Plenitude's Guajillo battery energy storage system (BESS) in Texas, which has a capacity of 200MW/200MWh. The BESS, located in Webb County alongside a solar farm, is expected to be operational by mid-2025. Habitat Energy aims to maximize revenue through advanced algorithmic price forecasting and human oversight, claiming to manage over 1.2GW of battery storage and renewable assets in the ERCOT region. The company recently signed an agreement with Octopus Energy US for further optimization services.

FlexGen Power Systems has introduced a new battery health feature in its HybridOS energy management system, which provides a more accurate view of battery degradation for long-term planning. This feature continuously evaluates energy flow during charge and discharge events to compute a site-specific degradation curve. Meanwhile, Nuvve has launched a 'Battery-as-a-Service' program aimed at electric cooperatives, allowing for scalable BESS deployment without significant upfront costs. This subscription-based service is expected to begin deployments in late 2025 and is designed to enhance profitability for Nuvve, which has faced challenges in its financial performance.
