Minnesota’s public utilities commission approves Form Energy’s 10 MW/1 GWh iron-air long-duration energy storage facility construction project for Xcel Energy.
Also on the rise: Turning EV charging centers into islanding solar microgrids. Indiana utility activates first 465 MW solar projects. And more.
Also on the rise: Insurer to cover up to $20 million in damage limits for solar projects. Missouri municipal utility to launch 20-year community solar program. And more.
Sumitomo says that its 2MW/8MWh vanadium redox flow battery achieved a 99% operating rate at San Diego Gas & Electric’s (SDG&E) facility in California. The battery is expected to retain a capacity rate of 90% or more for 20 years in the electricity market.
SunVilla announced the launch of its Smart Yard power station, a 6.4 kWh power capacity semi-solid state battery system which features a 3.8 kW output from batteries and 100-200 Watt solar modules mounted on a tool shed to charge electric systems and provide storage for lawn equipment.
Energy storage supports a grid increasingly defined by renewable energy. pv magazine USA recaps three recent project updates in grid-scale storage.
Small-scale PV systems drove the installation of more than 200 GW of solar capacity last year and could support more than 300 GW this year. That means a reset for utilities.
Passing these bills would make the state among the most ambitious in the Midwest when it comes to growing storage capacity and encouraging business models that unlock the full potential of this technology, like the “virtual power plant” model.
Also on the rise: First Solar secures 1 GW module order. DOE advances $1 billion of $7 billion clean hydrogen strategy. And more.
The community choice aggregator entered a 20-year power purchase agreement for the 42 MW solar, 140 MWh storage project, located next to an existing Ormat Technologies geothermal facility.
