State government-owned energy company Synergy has received planning approval for its 500MW/2,000MWh Collie Battery Energy Storage System (CBESS) project in Western Australia.

The US state of Minnesota has passed a package of incentives for solar, energy storage, microgrids and energy resiliency totalling US$80 million.

Australia will launch its first tenders for large-scale energy storage resources during this year, minister says.

Some 2.5-3.6GW of energy storage could be cost-effectively deployed by 2033 to cut emissions and lower energy costs in the US state of Maryland, American Clean Power (ACP) said.

The Australian market for residential battery storage grew by an estimated 55% in 2022 from the previous year, according to SunWiz.

The government of Queensland has said keeping energy sector in public ownership will be key to an orderly transition away from fossil fuels.

Development of battery systems to help integrate renewables and boost grid reliability continues to pick up pace in New South Wales.

Queensland gets about 21% of its energy from renewables, but the state government has just set an increased target of 70% renewables by 2032.

Victoria, Australia, will target 6.3GW of renewable energy storage by 2035, one of the world’s most ambitious storage policy goals.

Queensland’s state government has identified batteries as the fastest way to add energy storage to the electricity network.
