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.
