Why LFP Dominates Grid Storage
LFP and contenders in the race for affordable and safe stationary energy storage
www.lithiumhorizons.com
📮 LFP went from cheap backup tech to the dominant chemistry in grid storage, now powering 80%+ of new BESS installs. It won on cost, safety, and reliability.
In my latest article, I unpack what grid batteries need and how new chemistries stacks up.

🔋Roughly 2,000 CATL workers to arrive in Spain by end-2026 to start building Spain's largest battery factory.
The factory is part of a 4.1-billion-euro project with Stellantis that highlights Europe's reliance on Chinese technology.
