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

Work has begun on the first pilot project using Form Energy’s iron-air battery, designed to cost-effectively store and discharge energy over multiple days.

The Central Electricity Authority of India (CEA) is fast-tracking two large-scale pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) projects totalling 2,600MW of power.

The CPUC has proposed the procurement of over 10GW of new energy resources, including 1GW of multi-day long-duration energy storage (LDES) and another 1GW of 12-hour-plus LDES.

The US federal Department of Energy (DOE) will offer up to US$100 million for pilot-scale long-duration energy storage (LDES) projects utilising non-lithium technologies.

The consultation in New South Wales, Australia, on reducing the definition of LDES to 4-hours sparked mixed reactions in the energy sector.

Over the past few days, non-lithium long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology providers have made a plethora of announcements.

US utility company Salt River Project (SRP) has launched a request for proposals for non-lithium, long-duration energy storage (LDES) demonstration projects, targeting wider deployment during the early 2030s.

Statkraft’s Rory Griffin writes about the challenges and opportunities encountered in developing Ireland’s first-ever 4-hour duration battery storage project, which is co-located with a wind farm.

NTPC, India’s biggest electric power utility with a 76GW generation fleet, has opened a tender for a long-duration energy storage (LDES) flow battery project.
