Augmentation and end-of-life disposal look set to grow in significance in the next few years in the US, with nearly 1.5GW/3GWh of BESS projects now four years old or more.

Solar Energy Corporation of India is tendering for BESS resources with aggregate output and capacity of 1,000MW/2,000MWh.

EnerVenue has launched an integrated energy storage system (ESS) solution comprised of its metal-hydrogen batteries, which it claims are capable of 30,000 cycles or more.

Dominion Energy will pilot the deployment of a novel metal-hydrogen battery, making it the latest new non-lithium technology the US utility is trying out.

“We think this is the first battery cell which is designed from the end users’ point of view, based on how they want to use it,” EVE Energy’s head of energy storage Steven Chen says.

Flow battery maker Invinity Energy Systems signed a deal for the newest iteration of its product with Everdura at RE+ in Las Vegas last week.

Proposed new ancillary service market rules could adversely impact business case for battery storage, Cornwall Insight Australia says.

Startup EnerVenue has won an order in Florida for 25MWh of its “uniquely differentiated” metal-hydrogen energy storage technology.

A flow battery supply deal will accelerate a California municipal utility’s decarbonisation while derisking that process.
