The government of Western Australia has begun a drive to deploy at least 1,000 renewable energy off-grid power systems.

Queensland’s state government has identified batteries as the fastest way to add energy storage to the electricity network.

Approval has been granted for construction of a large-scale BESS at the site of an existing fossil fuel power plant in New York.

Significant policy support for the long duration energy storage (LDES) sector may be needed until 2030-35 when the market matures, says a new LDES Council policy toolbox report.

A capacity mechanism for Australia’s National Electricity Market needs to catalyse investment in renewable energy and energy storage.

The government of Victoria, Australia, has opened a round of funding for ‘neighbourhood-scale’ battery storage.

There could be nearly 13GW of energy storage on the grid in New York by 2052, according to the state’s grid operator NYISO.

Europe will need a total of 187GW of energy storage by 2030 and 600GW by 2050 to meet its renewable energy targets, according to the European Association of Energy Storage (EASE).

Novel project in development in Australia combining CSP, molten silicon thermal storage, solar PV and grid-scale BESS appears to be revived.

Western Australia will retire its two state-owned coal power plants by 2030 and invest in renewable energy and energy storage.
