Urban Electric Power has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with developer Pine Gate Renewables to supply the latter up to 4,550MWh of its zinc batteries over the next five years.
Zinc battery energy storage system provider Eos Energy Systems finished 2021 with an order backlog of US$148.7 million and a net loss for the year of US$124.2 million.
From data centres to long-duration storage for the grid, zinc looks increasingly likely to play a part in the energy transition, writes Dr Josef Daniel-Ivad from the the Zinc Battery Initiative.
A 100kW/1.5MWh zinc-based battery energy storage system (BESS) will be installed at a 32-building housing development in Queens, New York, supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
Gravity-based energy storage technology company Energy Vault has formed a strategic partnership with non-ferrous metals smelting and refinery company Korea Zinc, including a US$50 million investment commitment.
