Peak Energy president and CCO Cameron Dales speaks with Energy-Storage.news about the US startup’s plans for scaling sodium-ion battery storage and cell manufacturing, sodium-ion’s advantages, and the bankability of the technology.
US-based sodium-ion BESS startup Peak Energy has opened a battery cell engineering centre in Broomfield, Colorado, in partnership with the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT).
Peak Energy, a startup claiming to be the ‘first American venture to advance globally proven sodium-ion battery systems,’ has raised US$55 million in a Series A funding round.
DC-coupling of combined solar and energy storage plants could be a more effective way to save energy that would otherwise be clipped and ‘lost’, benefitting the grid and helping efforts to reduce the amount of carbon pumped into the air, the COO of Fluence has said.
Vertically-integrated solar energy company First Solar will be involved in the first megawatt-scale battery system announced in Arizona since it was revealed the state could put a 3,000MW energy storage deployment target in place.
