Lightsource bp has selected Hithium as the supplier of battery storage technology for a 222MW/640MWh solar co-located project in Queensland, Australia.  

French independent power producer (IPP) Neoen has secured AU$1.4 billion (US$890 million) in capital to help fund energy storage and solar PV projects in Australia.

Western Australia’s Altech Batteries has inked an offtake agreement to supply the Western defence market with its CERENERGY battery energy storage system (BESS) technology.

On 12 December 2024, the second Hithium Eco-Day, themed ‘The Freedom of Energy, The Revolution of Life,’ was held successfully in Beijing, China.

Solar PV developer Lightsource bp has started construction on two solar-plus-storage projects in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia, following success in the first tender of the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS).

Research firm Wood Mackenzie has found that daily price volatility from renewables on Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) supports a stronger battery revenue outlook.

Vanadium flow batteries could be a workable alternative to lithium-ion for a growing number of grid-scale energy storage use cases, say Matt Harper and Joe Worthington from Invinity Energy Systems.

A 1,200MWh solar-plus-storage twin project is set to be developed in North Queensland, Australia, after success in the recent Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) tender.

The first Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) tender round in Australia successfully awarded 3.5GWh of co-located battery energy storage systems (BESS) as renewables-plus-storage projects.

Global average lithium-ion battery prices have fallen 20% to US$115 per kWh this year, going below US$100 for electric vehicles (EVs), BloombergNEF said.
