A 2GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project has gone into operation in Saudi Arabia, according to the EPC firm which delivered it.

On 12 December 2024, the second Hithium Eco-Day, themed ‘The Freedom of Energy, The Revolution of Life,’ was held successfully in Beijing, China.

Hithium has launched a battery storage solution for use in desert conditions and plans to build a 5GWh production plant in Saudi Arabia.

‘Liquid metal’ battery technology developed as a potential low-cost competitor for lithium-ion looks set to be used at a data centre under development near Reno, Nevada.
