Three energy storage projects have reached key milestones, including pumped hydro, thermal storage, and geothermal alternatives to battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has acquired full ownership of the 1GWh Beehive battery energy storage system (BESS) in Arizona, US, from EDF Renewables North America.
South Africa’s Ministry of Electricity and Energy has defended the integrity of its recent battery storage tender from accusations raised by the country’s main opposition party.
The government of South Africa has revealed the preferred bidders in the third window of its Battery Energy Storage Independent Power Procurement Programme (BESIPPPP), with IPPs Mulilo and Scatec winning the projects.
The grid-scale energy storage market in Italy holds much promise with very ambitious deployment targets for 2030, but it may be difficult for the industry to deliver on those targets.
Investor Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has partnered with GCSS, a joint platform of developers Ikigai Energy and Agnoli Giuggioli, to deploy 2.3GW of BESS in Italy.
Executives from investor Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners discussed its three BESS projects in Scotland totalling 1.5GW/3GWh which have all now reached FID, the largest BESS in Europe to do so.
