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 proliferation of batteries paired with renewable generation in states that have long relied on coal. As that...

Over a gigawatt of battery storage has been proposed in a plan to enable the wider rollout of renewables by Powercor, owner and operator of an electricity distribution network serving more than 800,000 customers in the Australian state of Victoria. The group’s network includes over half a million electricity poles and nearly 90,000km of power lines. In the Integrated...

A 99.9MW energy storage project in development in northern England by Renewable Energy Systems (RES) has secured planning permission, with the asset set to be operational in late 2023. Located in the Selby area in North Yorkshire, the Lakeside Energy Storage Project will be the largest energy storage project in RES’ now 420MW portfolio of energy storage in the UK and Ireland once completed. The developme...

The raw materials situation for storage doesn't look as tricky as it does for solar, but some of the problems lie further downstream. Image: Andy Colthorpe / Solar Media. The Solar Media podcast is back for another episode, and Liam Stoker and Andy Colthorpe kick off with an exploration of the deepening materials crisis impacting upstream solar manufacturing, through from modules to trackers. Talk moves on to how the picture is very different in energy storage in some ways,...
