The role of energy storage in helping Europe’s energy security is increasingly being recognised, said keynote speakers at The Energy Storage Summit EU today, hosted by our publisher Solar Media.

The ‘hype cycle’ around long duration energy storage (LDES) is coming to an end and 2023 will be the year when companies must prove their technology can live up to its promises.

GE Hydro Solutions has installed the final of four 300MW turbines at a pumped hydro energy storage plant in Anhui Province, China.

Flow battery firms Stryten Energy and CMBlu Energy have made moves to accelerate the commercialisation of their products in the US this week.

Utility Eneco and Corre Energy have signed an agreement for the latter to deploy a 320MW, 84-hour duration compressed air energy storage system (CAES) in Groningen, the Netherlands.

Bushveld Minerals is restructuring its investment in vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) firm CellCube, increasing it slightly to 27.6%, as part of its own energy storage business carve-out.

With nearly half of global emissions coming from heat processes, clean long duration energy storage (LDES) which can store thermal energy are crucial for decarbonisation, says a new LDES Council report.

A roundup of US energy storage news from Powin Energy, Tesla and Homer Electric, and Rome-based Energy Dome.

Norway-based thermal energy storage company Kyoto Group has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to deploy an 88MWh system in Spain in the second half of 2023.

Long duration energy storage technologies like flow batteries, compressed air or gravity-based solutions look set to enter the market at scale in the second half of the 2030s, according to the DNV Energy Transition Outlook.
