EU reforms of electricity market should recognise value of flexibility options like energy storage, according to representatives of Fluence.

Justin Rangooni, executive director of Energy Storage Canada, explains why hitting the country’s 2050 net zero target will be impossible without at least 8GW of energy storage by 2035.

Early engineering work has begun on a hybrid power plant project at a uranium mine in the Republic of Niger.

NextEra Energy decarbonisation strategy includes eliminating all scope 1 and 2 emissions from its operations by 2045 without carbon offsets.

Approval is being sought for a 400MW advanced compressed air energy storage (A-CAES) project with eight hours of storage to be built in California by technology provider Hydrostor. 

The success in a recent capacity market auction of large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Belgium is a sign of the European country’s energy storage market maturing, Energy-Storage.news has heard. 

Financial close has been reached for a 25MW / 100MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Belgium which has also been successful in a grid capacity auction alongside gas-fired power plants.  

California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved a 11.5GW procurement of electricity capacity from greenhouse gas-free sources, while also approving a resolution that campaigners said will have severe negative impacts on the state’s residential solar and solar-plus-storage growth.

A grid-scale battery storage system will be built at the site of a nuclear power plant in Finland, providing backup in the event of disruption to grid supply.

The California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) has tabled plans to mitigate a potential shortfall of electricity through the rapid procurement of new capacity over the next five years, 90% of which must be non-emitting firm resources.
