CEE Battery Brief (Dienstag und Freitag): die Nachrichten der Woche im Kontext. CEE Take (Montag und Mittwoch): eine Meldung und was sie für Mittel- und Osteuropa bedeutet. Immer mit Links zu den Quellen. Unsere Analysen erscheinen auf Englisch.
Four-hour batteries took most of Belgium's 2030–31 capacity volume, while Polish storage turns to tolling deals and Czechia's new mechanism only starts delivering in 2030.
Storage pack prices fell to $70/kWh in 2025 and four-hour batteries now beat gas peakers on cost – but in Poland, market rules still decide how much gets built.
A German court tests EU safety law on recalled EV batteries, Webasto prepares to sell its battery business and Armenia starts subsidising storage finance.
Samsung SDI returned to profit on energy storage demand centred on the US, while its Göd plant in Hungary keeps expanding for electric-car cells.
China's new battery standard requires that a single-cell thermal runaway causes no fire or explosion – pushing pack makers towards better barriers such as aerogels.
Poland's electric bus registrations jump more than sixfold, LG Energy Solution eyes Baltic storage with Energix and German battery spreads hit a post-2022 high.
Fewer modules, shorter current paths and cells built straight into the pack or the car – how battery design, not only chemistry, is raising range and cutting cost.
From February 2027 EV, light-vehicle and larger industrial batteries sold in the EU need a digital passport with a QR code – here is what it contains, who can see it and what it costs.
PGE has broken ground on its Gryfino storage project after rejecting a bid with Chinese technology, using procurement rules Poland tightened in 2025.
Greenvolt agrees to sell 1.6 GWh of Polish storage, Prague proposes delaying two capacity auctions and solid-state cells move from labs to production lines.
Silicon can store far more lithium than graphite, and silicon-carbon materials are now made at automotive scale – the challenge is controlling how much silicon swells.
Brussels picks LG Energy Solution's LFP line in Poland for Innovation Fund support, Germany nearly doubles storage additions and a VW recall and Sonnen's insolvency show the risks.
Sodium-ion cells trade some energy density for low cost, strong cold-weather performance and no lithium, nickel or cobalt – here is where they fit and what is still missing.
Semi-solid cells are already commercial and Saft has opened solid-state lines in France, but all-solid-state batteries for mass-market cars are still years away.
Wood Mackenzie finds four-hour storage cheaper than gas peaking plants in every market it modelled, but Poland's capacity auction rules decide what actually gets built.
A 1.14 GWh Polish storage portfolio changes hands, grid-scale installations keep accelerating, lithium prices soften and European integrators get ready for sodium-ion.
