The company, based in Denver, Colorado, and San Francisco, California, said on Wednesday (17 July) that it has secured the financing ahead of beginning pilot production of sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries and energy storage system (ESS) technology in 2025.
As the technology of sodium-ion batteries matures, their integration into the energy storage landscape could offer a compelling supplement to existing technologies such as LFP. Rise of Multi-Hour Storage: The relevance and viability of multi-hour storage (3, 4, 5 hours) may witness a notable increase with complementary technologies.
Other players commercialising sodium-ion batteries include CATL, India''s Reliance New Energy via the acquisition of UK battery startup Faradion, and another Chinese group, HiNa Battery Technology, which recently opened the world''s first gigawatt-hour scale sodium-ion production line with state-owned power company China Three Gorges Corporation.
Pylontech has announced that it has received the world''s first sodium ion battery certificate from TÜV Rheinland, based on UL1973:2022, IEC62619:2022, IEC62660-2:2018 and IEC62660-3:2022 standards. The global installed capacity for energy storage is forecast to reach 233GWh by the end of 2030, with the technological breakthrough in
This technology is internationally patented by Rutten NES and offers several advantages, such as insensitivity to deep discharges, with no deterioration in storage capacity over time; reliability and ease of maintenance; and is particularly well suited to sites where high ambient temperatures can be challenging.
Japan-headquartered NGK Insulators is the manufacturer of the NAS sodium sulfur battery, used in grid-scale energy storage systems around the world. ESN spoke to Naoki Hirai, Managing Director at NGK Italy S.r.l. Originally, the principle of the sodium sulfur battery was released in the United States, and it led to various trials in the US
The sodium-sulfur battery tech has been developed by Japanese company NGK and deployed worldwide at sites for over 20 years, totalling around 5GWh of cumulative installs. "Renewable dispatchable technologies such as solar PV and wind combined with lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, and pumped hydro are well established, however

Solar PV plants supplying São Tomé International Airport and Príncipe Airport are expected to enter commercial operations later this year, Portuguese project developer Cleanwatts told African Energy Live Data in mid-January.
"Storage technologies are always evolving, so you should keep an eye out for the development of sodium-ion batteries, which can be one of the few technologies able to achieve a market share comparable to lithium batteries, in the short term," said Julian Gerstner, head of energy storage at Baywa r.e.
The project uses 4MW / 20MWh of sodium-sulfur NAS battery storage from NGK Insulators with 7.5MW / 2.5MWh of lithium-ion batteries, each performing different grid-balancing roles. NGK, Hitachi Chemical and Hitachi Power Solutions, supplier of battery control and power grid information technologies, were appointed by NEDO (New Energy and
Update 25 March 2021: NGK Insulators responded to a request for more info from Energy-Storage.news and confirmed that the NAS battery storage system will be sited at the 5MW Uliastai solar PV project which is included in the ADB''s Upscaling Renewable Energy Sector project for Mongolia. According to an October 2020 Procurement Plan published by the
The use of sodium-sulfur/NAS batteries is particularly significant, as these storage systems are some of the most well-established in the battery sector. The sodium-sulfur/NAS batteries are developed by Japanese firm NGK Insulators, and an NAS battery functions in a with an output of 250kW and a storage capacity of 1,450kWh.
With costs fast declining, sodium-ion batteries look set to dominate the future of long duration energy storage, finds an AI-based analysis that predicts technological breakthroughs based on global patent data.
Sodium-ion batteries are set to disrupt the LDES market within the next few years, according to new research – exclusively seen by Power Technology''s sister publication Energy Monitor – by GetFocus, an AI-based
The first phase of the world''s largest sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS), in China, has come online. The first 50MW/100MWh portion of the project in Qianjiang, Hubei province has been completed and put into operation, state-owned media outlet Yicai Global and technology provider HiNa Battery said this week.

Medium The Government of Sao Tome and Principe is strongly motivated to increase and diversify its generation capacity through mini/smallhydropower plants and is driven by its plans to increase access to electricity services to the population.
Sao Tome and Principe has not yet developed a National Energy Policy. However, with every change in Government, the incoming Government formulates its development plan with the last one prepared in October 2013 and entitled “Grandes Opções do Plano para 2014” (Major Options of the Plan for 2014).
2. Solar PV:As per the publication “Emission Reduction Profile: Sao Tome and Principe”, June 2013” prepared by RISO with the support of ACP-MEA & UNFCCC, there are, to date, “no official studies on the exact solar power potential: therefore, further calculations of the emissions reduction potential can be hazardous”.
With costs fast declining, sodium-ion batteries look set to dominate the future of long-duration energy storage, finds AI-based analysis that predicts technological breakthroughs based on global patent data. Sodium-ion batteries’ rapid development could see long-duration energy storage (LDES) enter mainstream use as early as 2027.
Although the companies are yet to commercialise their technologies, Chinese battery company Great Power last year announced a 50MW/100 megawatt-hour LDES project to power a data centre, demonstrating that sodium-ion batteries are already under consideration for LDES. “China will probably lead the way for sodium-ion battery production,” adds Gorski.
Analysing 30 LDES technologies, the research found sodium-ion batteries to hold the most promise due to their fast improvement rate – around 57% in 2024. They offer more efficiency in round-trip energy use, greater operational flexibility and lose less energy during storage and supply.
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.
