Independent power producer (IPP) Grenergy has reached financial close on phase one and two of its Oasis de Atacama BESS and solar project in Chile, which will eventually reach 4.1GWh.
PV manufacturer Canadian Solar will provide 705MWh of its BESS technology for three projects in Nova Scotia, Canada, and another 498MWh for a project in Texas, US.
Developer and IPP NextEra Energy Resources (NEER) is proposing to construct an up to 3GW standalone BESS across 260 acres of privately-owned land in Fresno County, California.
We hear from industry sources about the reasons for, and implications of, the increasing convergence to the 20-foot, 5MWh+ container as the dominant grid-scale BESS product today.
The US federal Department of Energy (DOE) will offer up to US$100 million for pilot-scale long-duration energy storage (LDES) projects utilising non-lithium technologies.
