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 European Commission support for manufacturing of clean energy technologies a “game changer” for making the battery industry competitive.

Some 1.9GW of grid-scale battery energy storage was deployed across Europe last year, of which nearly 85% was in UK, Ireland, Germany and France according to research and consultancy LCP Delta.

At World Smart Energy Week in Japan last week CATL, Jinkosolar and Sungrow exhibited battery storage products.

Battery storage projects at least 1GWh of capacity have been proposed or progressed in Australia by companies Synergy, SkyLab and the Queensland government.
