James Costello, CEO of EORA Energy, argues that long-duration vanadium redox flow battery storage is critical to Western Australia’s decarbonisation efforts, particularly for remote mining operations.

In a recent webinar hosted by AEMO Services, the latest New South Wales long-duration energy storage tender round was in the spotlight.

Allegro Energy has revealed what it claims is Australia’s first locally manufactured microemulsion flow battery (MeFB) suited for LDES.

Energy-Storage.news delves into long-duration energy storage and how it is helping shape Australia’s energy transition.

Western Australia has revealed a new long-duration vanadium flow battery pilot in the town of Kununurra exploring the use of the technology in microgrids and off-grid power systems.

The UK has confirmed a new scheme aiming to stimulate investment in the country’s long-duration energy storage (LDES) sector.

The Australian government’s Department of Industry, Science and Resources has indicated that lithium-ion batteries are poised to “dominate” stationary storage for durations under 4-hours, but alternative technologies could surpass them for long duration energy storage (LDES).

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

Utility and independent power producer (IPP) Engie has started commercial operations of a 139MW/638MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in the northern region of Antofagasta, Chile.

The Chilean arm of France-based multinational utility Engie has started construction on a 68MW/418MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at an operational solar PV plant.
