Energy storage can enable decarbonisation of economies around the world and Asia-Pacific is no exception. Hendrik Bohne of Aquila Capital looks at the examples of two leading examples in the region.
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.
California utility PG&E is developing a long-duration energy storage microgrid combining batteries and green hydrogen, in partnership with Energy Vault, the company known for its gravity-based solution.
The US state of California is providing US$31 million for a long duration energy storage project combining vanadium flow and zinc-hybrid batteries, the first grant from a US$380 million package.
