Contemporary Nebula Technology Energy, a worldwide supplier of integrated energy storage systems backed by CATL, has completed the rollout of a 1.725MW/4.07MWh commercial and industrial energy storage installation in Belgium.

Situated within an industrial park, the project features CNTE’s STAR-T containerized energy storage solution equipped with CATL battery cells, providing dependable and efficient energy management capabilities for industrial operations.

With European industries facing rising energy costs and increasing strain on power grids, the Belgium project has been developed to enhance the customer’s operational performance through peak load management, energy trading opportunities, and optimized energy coordination strategies. The system is expected to lower electricity expenses while improving energy adaptability, supporting broader sustainability and energy transition objectives.

The project further strengthens CNTE’s footprint in the European energy storage sector and reflects the growing regional demand for adaptable, high-efficiency commercial and industrial ESS technologies.

CNTE’s STAR-T solution combines advanced battery systems, intelligent energy management software, and stringent safety features to maintain reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Its modular design and localized service support allow the company to deliver customized solutions for commercial and industrial clients worldwide.

According to CNTE, Belgium represents a key market in Europe’s fast-moving energy transition. The company stated that it plans to deepen collaboration with regional partners to develop smarter and more efficient energy ecosystems while helping customers achieve stronger energy independence and sustainability targets.

As Europe continues to accelerate renewable energy adoption and industrial decarbonization efforts, CNTE says it remains focused on advancing innovative energy storage technologies that contribute to cleaner, more resilient, and intelligent power infrastructure.

CNTE will also participate in The smarter E Europe 2026 and Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich from June 23–25, where it will present its latest energy storage solutions at Booth C2.450 and engage with international renewable energy stakeholders.

Georgia Power has begun construction on a new 200-megawatt (MW) battery energy storage system (BESS) in Twiggs County, located southeast of Macon, Georgia. This project, approved by the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) on September 4, 2025, emerged from the competitive selection process of the 2023 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Update. The Twiggs BESS, owned by Georgia Power, is being built next to the existing Twiggs County Solar facility.

Designed to deliver stored power over a four-hour period, the 200 MW storage system will enhance grid reliability and strengthen the overall resilience of the state’s energy infrastructure. BESS projects play a crucial role in maximizing the effectiveness of renewable energy sources such as solar by storing surplus power during low-demand periods for use when demand spikes — for instance, on cold winter mornings when solar generation is limited. These systems directly support the energy needs identified in the 2023 IRP Update while providing a cost-effective solution for future grid demands.

Rick Anderson, senior vice president and senior production officer at Georgia Power, emphasized the importance of collaboration in advancing grid reliability: “Working with the Georgia PSC and other partners allows us to make the right investments for a strong and dependable power grid. The 200 MW Twiggs County BESS will help us serve our customers more efficiently and meet Georgia’s growing energy needs. As we increase renewable generation, energy storage will be essential to maintaining flexibility and reliability when those sources aren’t producing.”

Construction of the Twiggs facility, led by Crowder Industrial Construction, LLC, is scheduled for completion in 2027.

Beyond Twiggs County, Georgia Power is developing four additional BESS projects across Bibb, Cherokee, Floyd, and Lowndes counties, totaling 765 MW of capacity and expected to come online in 2026. These initiatives were also part of the 2023 IRP Update.

Future Energy Storage Developments
As part of an All-Source Request for Proposals (RFP), Georgia Power has requested approval from the PSC to add 10 new battery energy storage facilities totaling 3,022.5 MW, along with two advanced solar-plus-storage projects adding another 350 MW. Site selections were based on existing infrastructure opportunities, such as proximity to substations and available company-owned land.

Additionally, the company has issued a call for proposals for another 500 MW of energy storage systems (ESS) with at least a two-hour discharge capability. The RFP—managed by Ascend Analytics as an independent evaluator—will seek:

Georgia Power aims to have these new storage systems operational by 2031, with qualified project bids due in early 2026.
