With the catastrophic impacts of climate change seen around the world, there is little time left to act but energy storage has a huge opportunity to be part of the solution, the audience at World Energy Storage Day online conference heard today.

India’s government will launch its first 1,000MW pilot tender to procure energy storage within a matter of weeks, Ministry of Power joint secretary Ghanshyam Prasad has said. 

An accusation has been made that Hornsdale Power Reserve, the landmark large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in South Australia, did not deliver ancillary services as offered over a four-month period in 2019.

Four flow battery manufacturing research and development (R&D) projects will each receive a share of US$17.9 million funding from the US Department of Energy (DoE).

The breakneck speed of policy changes for US solar, a wave of investment and M&A deals in energy storage and skyrocketing power prices are the main topics of this month’s podcast.
