Following recent progress for long-duration energy storage projects in California, Terra-Gen has entered the fray with its huge 8GWh hybrid BESS project.
California’s largest electric utility is continuing its push to establish a net-zero energy system by 2040, finalising an offtake agreement for 1.8GWh of battery storage capacity with Aypa Power.
Steady price falls the past few years have made lithium-ion BESS a real contender for long-duration energy storage (LDES), and that is now reflected in global project pipelines.
Tom Sisto, CEO of US flow battery provider XL Batteries, writes that lithium-ion batteries’ dependence on a supply chain controlled almost completely by one country is a risk that could be avoided.
Invinity Energy Systems believes partnering with a Chinese materials and manufacturing company will enable significant cost reduction of its vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) technology.
Coval Infrastructure has become the latest developer to submit an application with the California Energy Commission (CEC), as part of the regulator’s opt-in certification scheme.
