Energy storage and clean energy advocate Anthony Price, organiser of the annual International Flow Battery Forum, returns to Guest Blogging.

The Q3 2023 edition of our downstream solar PV journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download, leading with a focus on solar and storage in the US, one year on from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Alex Thornton, operations director at Harmony Energy, gives us a deep dive into Pillswood, the biggest battery storage project in Europe.

Efficient and resilient energy storage systems have become vital to building a clean, secure, and reliable power grid.

A recent draft final rule on reforms of grid interconnection processes from US regulator FERC has been welcomed by the energy storage industry, although many hurdles still remain.

The US saw roughly triple the amount of grid-scale battery storage installed in the second quarter of this year as it did in the preceding quarter, in megawatt terms.

The lithium industry needs US$116 billion of investment to achieve the 5.7x ramp-up in production needed for 2030 decarbonisation goals, and prices may remain ‘tight’ in the coming years.

Ameresco will look for energy storage projects to own that the US clean energy solutions company can secure long-term revenues for.

Energy storage’s role in enabling decarbonisation and economic growth was at the heart of discussions at Energy Storage Summit Asia 2023.

Scaling up net zero-enabling battery storage technologies will require financiers and investors to share risks with developers, such as those over supply chain.
