Developer Giga Storage has acquired a closed distribution grid in Groningen, the Netherlands, with the aim of deploying large-scale battery storage projects at the site.
Developer Available Power is focusing on the ‘distributed play’ of 9.9MW-or-less battery storage opportunities within the area of grid operator ERCOT in Texas, a senior executive told Energy-Storage.news.
The UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is providing £30 million (US$37.5 million) in grants for long-duration energy storage (LDES) projects from Synchrostor, Invinity Energy Systems and Cheesecake Energy.
Invinity Energy Systems will deploy a partially grant-funded 7MW/30MWh vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) system in the UK as the company scales up its project sizes.
The new investment tax credit (ITC) for standalone energy storage means some US developers are opting to overbuild systems instead of augmenting them further down the line.
