Australian renewable energy developer Genex Power has achieved financial close on what looks likely to be the country’s first new pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) plant in nearly 40 years. This morning ARENA said in a release that financial close has now been reached for the AU$777 million project to be able to go ahead. The cost includes transmission infrastructure to take power away to the northeast coast of Australia som...

Large-scale liquid air energy storage (LAES) systems which can store and discharge energy for up to six hours are being planned in Spain by technology provider Highview Power. The company said today that it is developing up to 2GWh of LAES projects in four Spanish regions, Asturias, Cantabria, Castilla y Leon and the Canary Island...

By: Andy Colthorpe There are perhaps four or five US states which have become prolific in their deployment of battery energy storage systems. The growth of large-scale battery systems in places like California, Hawaii, Texas, Arizona and New York might naturally form the bulk of our US project news coverage here at Energy-Storage.news, but it’s also interesting to hear about what’s happening in regions where that development is still at an earlier stage. One example is the steady prolifer...
