Developer PowerField’s first large-scale battery storage projects in the Netherlands will be installed at solar PV parks, allowing them to connect to an otherwise congested grid network.

Energy storage could be a powerful asset in facilitating transmission upgrades required for New York’s low carbon energy transition.

Startup Spearmint Energy has become the latest developer to acquire a large-scale battery storage project in Texas.

Hybrid power plant, built as a ‘non-wires alternative’ to more expensive network upgrades, has gone online in Upstate New York.

Standalone battery energy storage can potentially offer better value to the US electricity system than pairing batteries directly with solar or wind generation, but the pros and cons of each approach vary greatly from project to project.
