DNV has published the 2026 edition of its BESS Intelligence Report, an analysis dedicated to battery energy storage systems (BESS) that examines the technical, commercial and operational factors that can affect the success of storage projects.
According to the report, the BESS sector is maturing rapidly, marked by significant developments in technology, safety, supply chains and the global storage markets. The analysis also highlights emerging risks that can affect the financing, delivery and long-term operation of projects.
The report summarises practical lessons drawn from project assessments and DNV’s field experience, aiming to support better-informed decisions on energy storage projects and investments. It addresses aspects such as system safety, the reliability of supply chains and the market conditions that influence the economic viability of BESS projects.
The document is relevant for companies in the shipbuilding and industrial sectors that integrate energy storage solutions into their operations, in the context of the energy transition and the growing share of renewable energy sources.
