California governor Gavin Newsom has outlined how the state will reach 100% decarbonisation by 2045, in a policy update which put energy storage front-and-centre in enabling 24/7 clean power.
Groundbreaking has taken place in West Virginia, US, for the factory where startup Form Energy will be mass producing batteries for long-duration energy storage (LDES) applications.
Senators in Maine are considering legislation to accelerate energy storage development, including a focus on who is allowed to own resources placed on transmission and distribution grids.
