Georgia Power has secured a battery and equipment supply agreement (BESA) with Tesla for a 500MW/2,000MWh BESS portfolio made up of four projects of varying sizes under development by the investor-owned utility (IOU).
The energy storage system integration arm of Canadian utility Hydro-Québec, EVLO, will deploy 300MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Virginia, US.
The energy regulator of Grenada is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) for a solar or solar-plus-storage project at the Caribbean island nation’s main international airport.
Clean energy system integrator Ameresco and utility Southern California Edison (SCE) have agreed the substantial completion for two BESS projects out of a three-project order, though liquidated damages related to their substantial delay in coming online are still being negotiated.
Stanford University and Argonne National Laboratory will lead R&D efforts in emerging battery and energy storage technologies funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE).
Augmentation and end-of-life disposal look set to grow in significance in the next few years in the US, with nearly 1.5GW/3GWh of BESS projects now four years old or more.
Energy storage system integration is complex and current approaches can often limit collaboration and flexibility, writes Leon Gosh, managing director of Cellect.
