Energy Storage

Also on the rise: GE Renewables is supplying technology to a solar+storage facility, and NREL researchers are rethinking cell design to help integrate solar on building facades.

Also in the rise: Partners will test a large-scale vehicle-to-grid charging system, Canadian Solar funds a startup whose focus is on the rest of the world, Griddy files for Chapter 11 after ERCOT mess, and Daqo signs a supply agreement with a new wafer manufacturer.

The utility touted its massive Manatee Energy Storage Center and recommitted to a $65 million green hydrogen pilot project that could impact the future of zero-emission power generation.

Also on the rise: Hawaiian Electric says that developers and suppliers share the blame for its interconnection delays, Redflow will supply a 2 MWh energy storage system for a California microgrid, and FPL files for new base rates and solar project cost recovery.

From Hawaii banning fossil fuels to Kentucky outlawing floating solar PV, these 10 energy bills are worth watching in 2021

Also on the rise: Electriq Power signs a $200m private label deal for home energy storage, and ARPA-E awards $18m for automated vehicle research that cuts energy use.

The 100 MW battery storage system would provide black start and balancing services for a volatile node within ERCOT.

The agreement also includes Facebook’s first large-scale energy storage project.

AEP Energy Partners is on the lookout for power purchase agreements from solar, wind, and energy storage projects sited in the PJM region.

The plan would yield $7.2 billion of cost savings, says a filing from the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association and other groups, in comparison with Duke Energy’s least-cost resource plan.
