Israel-based thermal energy storage firm Brenmiller Energy has inaugurated a factory targeting 4GWh of annual production capacity by the end of 2023, the first such gigafactory anywhere, it claimed.

In an effort to drive the country to deploying more energy storage, the Israeli Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has announced four large-scale battery storage projects.

Enel X and Magaldi Group have begun construction on 13MWh thermal energy storage plant based on patented technology.

Sungrow has signed another battery storage supply deal with renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure developer Doral for projects in Israel.

The past week has seen thermal energy storage solution companies strike or execute on commercial deals across Norway, Greece, Israel and South Africa.

Solar PV inverter manufacturer Sungrow has signed a 253MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) contract with Doral Renewable Energy Resources Group, its third in Israel this year.

It’s been a positive week for thermal energy storage technology, with utility Edison International validating a cold storage solution, a collaboration between two groups to achieve 100% round trip efficiency, and an acquisition involving several intellectual property rights patents.

Sungrow will supply a 16MW/64MWh battery energy storage system to a customer in Israel.

The energy storage division of solar PV inverter manufacturer Sungrow has signed a 430MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) contract with Israel’s Enlight Renewable Energy.
