Thermal energy storage (TES) technology provider Antora Energy has closed a US$550 million Series C funding round to accelerate deployment of its thermal battery storage systems for industrial facilities and data centres in the US.

Environmental services company Veolia has been selected to operate and maintain a 350MW microgrid to power an AI data centre campus in New Albany, Ohio, US, which includes a 430MWh BESS.

1414 Degrees has signed a deal to develop up to 1GW of AI data centre infrastructure at its Aurora Energy Precinct in South Australia.

IPP Eolian has begun construction on Flint Grid, a 200MW/1.06GWh energy storage project in Jersey Township, Licking County, Ohio, US.

Large data centres should serve as “anchor tenants” for new renewable energy generation, storage, and transmission investment, leveraging the scale and longevity of digital infrastructure commitments to advance energy projects rather than waiting for supply to arrive.

Utility Georgia Power has completed construction of the 49.5MW/198MWh Moody Battery Facility, located outside of Valdosta, Georgia, US.

ESN Premium speaks with Jason Abiecunas and Mike Wallace of FlexGen, one of a growing number of US BESS companies establishing operations in Europe.

BESS has huge potential to be deployed alongside AI data centres, but how are industry players positioning themselves to capture this opportunity?

System integrator and project developer ON.Energy and AI data centre infrastructure developer Crusoe have partnered to deploy 5GW of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) technology across multiple US hyperscale campuses.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that large-scale data centres will be legally required to put at least as much energy into the grid as they draw from it, and that this supply must be renewable energy.
