Sodium-ion BESS startup Moonwatt expects the battery chemistry to reach price cost parity with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) in the next two or three years, according to its CCO, Valentin Rota.

We look at the potential of flow batteries for LDES and compare the leading providers’ offerings and trajectories.

LCOS for battery storage in the US has declined enough recently to offset increases between 2021 and 2024, according to Lazard.

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed the EZBattery Model, a simulation tool for predicting the performance of redox flow batteries.

A new research centre ‘uniquely equipped’ to evaluate energy storage technologies has opened at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Washington, US.

The benefits of advances in cell technology, which improve the performance and lifetime of battery storage systems, can be directly passed onto customers.

According to Lazard, the impact of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives on the business case for battery storage in the US is now significant.

We hear from Enervenue CEO Jorg Heinemann on why metal-hydrogen technology can be a direct competitor to lithium-ion.

The latest episode of the Solar Media Podcast is out now, as Andy Colthorpe and Liam Stoker unpick the fallout from a dramatic US election.

The latest annually-published figures from financial advisory and asset management firm Lazard show that the on the levelised cost of energy storage (LCOS) continues to fall, with solar-plus-storage becoming increasingly price competitive.
