Battery storage can enhance the operation of power plant fleets, whether wind, solar, coal, gas or almost any other technology.  

Arclight Capital Partners has committed US$150 million to its energy storage platform Elevate Renewable Energy for deploying battery storage alongside its legacy thermal plant portfolio.

Wärtsilä has been awarded a contract to deploy a battery storage system at a gold mine in Australia, marking the company’s first ESS project in the country.

Major Australian energy retailer AGL has contracted Finnish technology company Wärtsilä to supply a battery energy storage system (BESS) for a 250MW / 250MWh project at Torrens Island, South Australia.

UK liquid air energy storage (LAES) start-up Highview Power said its first ever 250MWh ‘Cryobattery’ installation will be placed at the site of a decommissioned thermal power plant in the North of England and could be Europe’s largest ‘battery’ system when completed.
