NYPA agrees to test a 1 MWh zinc-based energy storage system
The deployment will provide peak shaving capability and aim to validate the system’s performance reliability and help determine O&M and life cycle costs.
Making the numbers work for a residential energy storage system
Solar-plus-storage on residential rooftops pencils out in only a handful of markets. Here’s how the numbers work.
Sunrise brief: Wärtsilä to supply solar-plus-storage tech to RWE Renewables project
Also on the rise: Aurora notches a design milestone, investment group closes on a portfolio of community solar projects, and iSun expands its utility-scale project market reach.
Sunrise brief: Tesla batteries will energize a 240 MWh Apple energy storage project
Also on the rise: SaskPower will build a battery energy storage system, Energize Ventures and CDPQ will invest $125 million in energy transformation tech, and Loanpal securitizes $421 million of residential solar loans.
Agilitas Energy starts work on its third SMART solar + storage project
