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.
A 100MW/200MWh project using semi-solid batteries has been connected to the grid in Zhejiang, China, reportedly the first project of its scale in the world.
Eneos Renewable Energy will add energy storage to an existing solar PV power plant in southern Japan, after successfully applying for subsidies to support the project’s cost.
Battery storage technology well and truly arrived at this year’s edition of Glastonbury, the world’s largest music and arts festival, helping power numerous parts including the Arcadia stage.
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.
Construction is underway on Cero Generation’s first solar and storage project in the UK, Larks Green, while its second one will differ substantially on the size of the grid connection.
