Large Scale Solar USA 2023

Developer Spearmint Energy has acquired a portfolio of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects totalling 900MW in the ERCOT, Texas market, set to come online in 2025.

The first phase of a residential battery storage program in the US state of New Hampshire has met all its conditions and saved the utility “more than expected” after an initial 100 units were deployed.

The US is now taking the stance on climate change its European counterparts have been demanding for years, the Department of Energy’s Jigar Shah told Energy-Storage.news in a wide-ranging interview.

Connecticut utilities Eversource, and UI and a quasi-state bank have together launched the next 100MW tranche of a programme aimed at incentivising 580MW of customer-sited energy storage projects.

The Senate of New Mexico has passed a bill, which will require investor-owned utilities to have 2GW/7GWh of energy storage online by 2034, the second such move by a US state this week.
