Italy-headquartered global energy storage and electric vehicle (EV) technology group NOAH, formerly Engie EPS, is expanding in the US market with one project recently going online and two more in the pipeline.

After a series of large-scale battery announcements in Australia from Federal and state governments, utility company AGL has followed up by saying it plans to build a battery system in South Australia with up to 1,000MWh of capacity.

While energy storage is still a small part of their respective businesses overall, recent quarterly financial reports from US-based geothermal company Ormat and standby generator maker Generac emphasised expectations of market growth going forwards.
