Renewable energy independent power producer (IPP) Greenvolt is close to bringing a 5MW/5MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) online at its biomass plant in Coimbra, Portugal.
Three large-scale battery storage projects and one virtual power plant were the winners of a recent competitive tender held on behalf of the government of New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
Gigafactory company Northvolt and sodium-ion battery technology firm Altris have together revealed a battery with an energy density of 160Wh/kg, designed for energy storage systems.
New guidance from the US government clarifying rules around tax credit incentives for energy storage and offshore wind energy has been welcomed by clean energy trade associations.
We caught up with Birger Steen, CEO of lithium-ion gigafactory company Freyr Battery, about its recent decision to minimise European investments in light of the Inflation Reduction Act, discussing a potential policy response and its approach to ESS and using conventional technologies.
The versatility of battery storage to provide a broad range of services makes them “particularly valuable” to virtual power plants (VPPs), according to a senior advisor to the US Department of Energy (DOE).
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has earmarked up to US$3.5 billion of new capital for battery manufacturing, a week after European gigafactory company Freyr announced it would only be scaling in the US for now.
