Turkey pre-licensing energy storage facilities paired with renewables, with around 20GW expected to be granted within three years.

Wind and solar PV paired with energy storage cost-competitive against gas in Ontario and Alberta, according to study from Clean Energy Canada.

Pattern Energy has achieved financial close on an offshore wind project in northern Japan to include a 100MW battery energy storage system.

Enel Green Power has completed a wind-plus-storage facility while RWE just installed all inverters on its own, both in Texas.

UK-based renewable energy developer Anesco will use its acquisition of a German wind and solar developer to expand into the country’s utility-scale energy storage market, CEO Mark Futyan told Energy-storage.news.

Neoen has started full commercial operations at its Bulgana Green Power Hub in the state of Victoria, Australia, which includes a 20MW / 34MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) paired with a 204MW wind farm. 

Hitachi Energy has been selected to supply a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) for a wind farm in the Faroe Islands, as the remote archipelago targets a goal of 100% renewable energy.

A California wind farm which was built in a state park in the 1980s will be rebuilt, increasing its generation capacity by more than eight times over and adding a large-scale battery storage facility.
