The new energy storage capacity is expected to allow the utility to reduce renewable energy curtailments by 69%. It is also expected to enable 10% more new utility-scale renewables on the grid than previous models allowed. Hawaiian Electric said it expects the battery to save its customers on electricity bills.

Northern Lights is the first project in the world allowing industrial companies to transport and sequester their CO2 emissions. The project is owned in equal shares by TotalEnergies, Equinor and Shell. Operational since September 2024, the Phase 1 installations can store to 1.5 million tons of CO2 per year.

By introducing more flexibility into the grid, energy storage can help integrate more solar, wind and distributed energy resources. It can also improve the efficiency of the grid – increasing the capacity factor of existing resources – and offset the need for building new pollution-emitting peak power plants.

Scatec signed two lease agreements with Cameroon ’s national electricity company, ENEO. The deals will expand Scatec's solar and battery storage capacity in the country to 64.4 MW of solar and 38.2 MWh of BESS across two sites. The company completed the solar plants in Maroua and Guilder, in northern Cameroon, in September 2023.

Storage helps solar contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn’t shining. It can also help smooth out variations in how solar energy flows on the grid. These variations are attributable to changes in the amount of sunlight that shines onto photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) systems.

In the first half of 2023, China's new energy storage continued to develop at a high speed, with 850 projects (including planning, under construction and commissioned projects), more than twice that of the same period last year. The newly commissioned scale is 8.0GW/16.7GWh, higher than the new scale level last year (7.3GW/15.9GWh).

The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) ($/kWh) metric compares the true cost of owning and operating various storage assets. LCOS is the average price a unit of energy output would need to be sold at to cover all project costs (e.g., taxes, financing, operations and maintenance, and the cost to charge the storage system).

Carbon black conducts electricity, and the engineers discovered that if it’s mixed with cement and water in a specific way, it forms a long, branching network of carbon “wires” as the cement hardens. That turns the material into a supercapacitor, a device that stores an electric charge.
