Penny Sharpe, the New South Wales energy minister, has announced plans to legislate a new long-duration energy storage (LDES) target for the Australian state of 28GWh by 2034. UK confirms cap-and-floor mechanism for long-duration energy storage from
Samantha McGahan of Australian Vanadium writes about the liquid electrolyte which is the single most important material for making vanadium flow batteries, a leading contender for providing several hours of storage, cost-effectively. Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) provide long-duration energy storage.
We cover a lot of interesting areas: from Murtagh''s personal journey from helping shape energy policy in California to joining the LDES Council, to the different definitions of Long-duration energy storage, how newer technologies can compete with or complement lithium-ion batteries in the global market and the Council''s work in modelling
The long-duration storage company announced last week that it has been invested in by the European Innovation Council Fund (), the investment arm of the EIC, set up by the European Commission to support technologies
The initiative aims to accelerate the transition to a 100% renewable electricity system in Chile by addressing the technical, economic, and regulatory challenges of long duration storage technologies. The goal is to contribute to a more flexible electrical system and enhance the country''s ability to integrate renewable energy.
Two startups seeking to disrupt the energy sector with novel long-duration energy storage technologies have formed partnerships with established industry players. Malta Inc, a developer of a ''pumped-heat energy storage'' (PHES) technology which the company claims can provide large-scale energy storage for up to 200 hours, has partnered with
The government of California has approved a US$42 million grant to Pennsylvania-based IPP International Electric Power (IEP) for a long-duration energy storage project at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, in
Around 65% of approximately 12.5 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted through industrial processes globally in 2021 could have been cut, according to ''Driving to net zero industry through long duration storage'', the new study produced by management consulting firm Roland Berger for the Long Duration Energy Storage Council (LDES
The Critical Materials Monitor aims to improve understanding of supply chains essential for the energy transition, the transition to more sustainable energy. It offers insights into the critical minerals required, outlines the components of key technologies, and provides in-depth reserve, production, and trade analysis.

Long duration energy storage technologies like flow batteries, compressed air or gravity-based solutions look set to enter the market at scale in the second half of the 2030s, according to the DNV Energy Transition Outlook.
US utility company Salt River Project (SRP) has launched a request for proposals (RFP) for non-lithium, long-duration energy storage (LDES) demonstration projects, targeting wider deployment during the early 2030s. SRP, based in central Arizona, US, serves around two million customers with water and power. It launched its RFP last week (26 June).
The plan, as reported by Energy-Storage.news in July, is based on an initial need determination made by the CPUC, which found that up to 10.6GW of long-lead-time (LLT) clean energy resources should be procured
Ontario should put around 6GW of long-duration energy storage (LDES) on its grid by 2032 to cost-effectively meet electricity demand and stay on track to hit net zero targets. That''s a key takeaway from ''Long duration energy storage opportunity assessment: a critical component in growing Ontario''s clean energy economy'', a new report

Saint Pierre and Miquelon: Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page provides the data for your chosen country across all of the key metrics on this topic.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
