Grid operators are racing to keep up with a surge of renewable power and a wave of electricity-guzzling data centers, and the old toolkit of short-duration lithium packs and gas peaker plants is no ...

The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has begun the first tests of a utility-grade battery at the new Grid Storage Launchpad, a major milestone for DOE's investment in ...

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. The tricky thing about generating electricity is that for the most part, you pretty much have to use it or lose it.

Grid batteries could back up wind and solar and they’re becoming more affordable. Large-scale batteries on our power grid could balance the intermittency of wind and solar, along with the normal ...

American battery startup Peak Energy and energy developer Jupiter Power have teamed up to deploy grid-scale sodium-ion batteries. It's a big step forward for the nascent—and in some ways, ...

Texas has always charted its own course, especially when it comes to energy. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which manages about 90% of the state's electric load, operates ...

Global grid storage capacity more than doubled in 2024 to 126 GW, with China, the U.S., and Europe leading growth. Batteries are shifting from niche technology to core infrastructure, underpinning the ...

Zenobē, a grid-scale battery storage specialist, and Wärtsilä Energy Storage have launched a project designed to store excess power from several offshore wind farms in the North Sea. Power grid ...

The US added 57 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery storage capacity to its electric grid last year – enough to supply the annual electricity needs of roughly ...

Germany’s large-scale battery industry is urging regulators and grid operators to speed up utility-scale connection approvals as applications outpace available grid capacity.
