A roundup of energy storage news announcements from Energy Vault, Mitsubishi Power Americas and Tesla.

The inverters at an upcoming 300MW/600MWh project in Scotland, UK, will enable the asset to deliver inertia that is “essential for the grid to function efficiently”.

Renewables developer and operator Arevon Energy has secured US$1.1 billion in debt and tax equity financing for a solar-plus-storage project in California which features a 150MW/600MWh BESS.

We caught up with James Li, European energy storage director of inverter and BESS provider Sungrow, at the Energy Storage Summit EU 2024.

The panel – Where are the Commercial Opportunities for Co-Location? – was almost full to capacity on the afternoon of the first day of the Summit.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) were awarded 655.16MW in the UK’s T-1 Capacity Market Auction for delivery year 2024/25, which cleared yesterday (20 February) after eight rounds at £35.79 (US$45.17)/kW/year.

Battery storage systems are “perhaps the most complex energy asset to optimise” from a market perspective, but the UK industry is handling those challenges.

Telecoms firm Elisa Corporation has signed a contract to bring its distributed energy storage (DES) solution to Finnish mobile networks. 

We catch up with the president of Canada-headquartered Hydrostor, Jon Norman, about the firm’s advanced compressed air energy storage (A-CAES) tech, current projects, future plans and being a developer versus system integrator.
