Alberta is embracing energy storage as a key component in modernizing its electricity grid. At the recent Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) conference, industry leaders discussed the significant opportunities and challenges ahead. As Alberta transitions to a more sustainable energy future, advancements in energy storage are essential for ensuring reliability and efficiency in the province's power supply. #EnergyStorage #RenewableEnergy #SustainableEnergy #GridModernization #EnergyInnovation #CleanTech #AlbertaEnergy #PowerGrid #EnergyTransition #energy #power #storage #grid #GreenEnergy https://lnkd.in/ghVtegD3

Check out my most recent article published on Energy-Storage.news ! In this piece, I took a look at a report from the California Energy Commission (CEC) which highlights the importance of energy storage facilities with a discharge duration of 8 hours or more. As grid operators around the world look to decarbonise and reach net-zero targets over the next few decades, it’ll be fascinating to see which long duration storage technologies emerge as viable utility-scale options. #EnergyStorage #LDES #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #NetZero

Important developments in California's clean energy transition! A recent report by the California Energy Commission highlights the role of long duration energy storage, with potential demand ranging from 5 GW to 37 GW by 2045. Hydrostor's A-CAES technology will play an essential role providing LDES, supporting ambitious decarbonization goals while maintaining reliability.

BREAKING: LASG putting up plan for 3GW of renewal energy, gas #renewableenergy #energy #lagosstate #businessday https://lnkd.in/dKgYMKiu

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has proposed the procurement of over 10GW of new #energy resources, including 2GW of long duration energy storage. Following the California Energy Commission's (CEC) emphasis on the importance of energy storage with an eight-hour or more discharge, this is the latest signal that LDES is being embraced as a powerful #decarbonization solution. The procurement seeks #LDES with 1GW multi-day energy storage and 1GW with a 12-hour or more discharge, alongside 1GW of #geothermal systems and 7.6GW of offshore #wind, totaling 10.6GW of nameplate capacity. California currently has over 10GW of battery storage, with projections indicating 52GW will be needed to achieve the state's goal of 100% #renewable energy by 2045. The #Time4Action is now to ensure #3xRenewables by 2030. To learn more, click below:

New York puts US$5 million to long-duration energy storage projects 💵 🔋 US$5 million will be made available for long-duration energy storage projects (LDES) by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. The money will support the development and demonstration of scalable LDES solutions to help the state meet its clean energy and energy storage deployment goals, including a 6GW by 2030 energy storage target. These steps will tackle challenges such as grid congestion, hosting capacity constraints, and lithium-ion siting limitations in New York. 🗽🇱🇷 The Battery Storage products are really taking off in the United States and with these projects being delivered, it is an excellent step towards easing grid congestion! #energystorage #renewableenergy #unitedstates

Today MAREC Action Executive Director Evan Vaughan is offering public testimony on HB 2277, which would codify Governor Shapiro’s Pennsylvania Reliable Energy Sustainability Standard (PRESS).    MAREC Action views HB2277 as a strong piece of legislation - it represents the single largest new market opportunity for energy investment currently under consideration by any state legislature in PJM. Through HB2277, Pennsylvania has an opportunity to diversify its electricity mix with clean and reliable energy storage projects paired with wind or solar.    MAREC Action is strongly supportive of the inclusion of energy storage in Tier 2 under HB2277. One note of concern about the legislation, however, is the strict limitations placed on regional market participants. The legislation as introduced prohibits any regionally sited clean energy projects larger than 150 MW from being able to participate in the Pennsylvania clean energy market. Leveraging the regional market for a portion of Pennsylvania’s electricity supply results in greater competition and the best outcomes for consumers. MAREC Action looks forward to continuing its work with the Pennsylvania General Assembly as the legislation moves forward.   For more information check out the link below: https://lnkd.in/e5_xNBuu

Check out this Energy Storage news article from our UK Storage experts Stephen Guthrie and Thibault Delouvrie on the future of storage in UK and the potential for LDES (Long Duration Energy Storage)

LDES consultation a 'defining policy' for the GB power sector It's great that long-duration energy storage (LDES) will play a big part in the UK power system in the future. LDES are also a great way to understand how battery storage systems work in principle. Charging a battery or pumping water into a reservoir requires energy, you do this when the UK is generating excess power. You then store this power in a battery or other forms and release it back to the grid when energy demands increase and or when supply drops. This is incredibly useful as we transition to a fully renewable energy mix. It's efficient and cost-effective. Examples of LDES include flow batteries, gravity storage, compressed air energy storage (CAES), liquid air energy storage (LAES) and metal-air batteries. #batterystorage #grid # nationalgrid #renewableenergy #BESS
