SUSI Partners has entered a development deal for two large-scale solar-plus-storage hybrid power plants in Chile.

When it comes to gravity batteries, pumped-hydro storage is the gold standard, but its cost and topography-specific limitations are driving innovations ranging from freight-train braking to super-dense liquids. We consider whether any of the new technologies can punch above their weight.

The global need for grid-scale energy storage will rise rapidly in the coming years as the transition away from fossil fuels accelerates.

Over £32 million government funding has been awarded to projects across the UK to develop new energy storage technologies, such as thermal batteries and liquid flow batteries. Developing energy storage will further strengthen the UK’s energy security by helping unlock the full potential of home-grown renewables.

Five energy storage projects across the UK will benefit from a share of over £32 million government funding.
