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.

A disused paper mill in Maine, US, will host a ‘multi-day’ battery storage system as part of a major project to reinforce and upgrade the electricity grid in New England.

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

SSE Renewables has revealed plans to progress a 1.8GW pumped hydro project at Loch Fearna, Scotland, UK.

The Energy Research and Development Division of the California Energy Commission (CEC) has issued a report highlighting the importance of energy storage facilities with a discharge duration of eight hours or more in order for the Golden State to reach its target of a zero-carbon electricity grid by 2045. 

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.

Rounding up a busy week’s worth of energy storage activity from the UK market, as reported by our colleagues at Solar Power Portal.

Toronto, Ontario-headquartered Hydrostor is proposing to deploy one of its advanced compressed air energy storage (A-CAES) facilities in Greater Napanee, Ontario.

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.
