Beyond the Hype: S&P Global’s Tier 1 List Provides a Crucial Benchmark for Cleantech Bankability
In a market saturated with manufacturers and plagued by price volatility, overcapacity, and sustainability concerns, distinguishing truly reliable partners is a monumental challenge for investors and project developers. S&P Global Commodity Insights has stepped into this void with its inaugural 2025 Tier 1 Cleantech Companies list, a much-needed objective benchmark designed to cut through the noise and identify suppliers with the financial health, scale, and sustainability credentials to be considered "bankable."
A Price Earthquake: Marstek's €499 Venus A Balcony Storage System Resets Market Expectations
The market for plug-and-play balcony energy storage systems has just been handed a seismic shock. Chinese manufacturer Marstek Energy has unveiled the Venus A, a 2.12 kWh LFP-based system with a built-in inverter, and announced a launch price of €499. This price point is less than half the cost of its closest competitors, fundamentally altering the value proposition for residential balcony storage and threatening to commoditize a segment that was just finding its footing.
Powering India's Industrial Shift: Cummins Launches Plug-and-Play BESS for C&I Sector
The global energy storage giant, Cummins, has made a decisive entry into one of the world's most critical energy markets: India. The company has launched a range of fully integrated, containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) specifically designed for the commercial, industrial (C&I), and mission-critical sectors.
