Via ESN: " Most LDES projects set to be 8-hour systems, says California Energy Commission: The Energy Research and Development Division of the California Energy Commission (CEC) has issued a report highlighting the importance of energy storage facilities with a discharge duration of eight hours or more in order for the Golden State to reach its target of a zero-carbon electricity grid by 2045.  " #EnergyStorage #Energy #BatteryStorage

Check out my most recent article published on Energy-Storage.news ! In this piece, I took a look at a report from the California Energy Commission (CEC) which highlights the importance of energy storage facilities with a discharge duration of 8 hours or more. As grid operators around the world look to decarbonise and reach net-zero targets over the next few decades, it’ll be fascinating to see which long duration storage technologies emerge as viable utility-scale options. #EnergyStorage #LDES #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #NetZero

UK energy regulator Ofgem is set to design and deliver the first round of a cap-and-floor support scheme for long-duration energy storage (LDES) including changes made after a consultation period at the beginning of this year. #energytransition

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has proposed the procurement of over 10GW of new #energy resources, including 2GW of long duration energy storage. Following the California Energy Commission's (CEC) emphasis on the importance of energy storage with an eight-hour or more discharge, this is the latest signal that LDES is being embraced as a powerful #decarbonization solution. The procurement seeks #LDES with 1GW multi-day energy storage and 1GW with a 12-hour or more discharge, alongside 1GW of #geothermal systems and 7.6GW of offshore #wind, totaling 10.6GW of nameplate capacity. California currently has over 10GW of battery storage, with projections indicating 52GW will be needed to achieve the state's goal of 100% #renewable energy by 2045. The #Time4Action is now to ensure #3xRenewables by 2030. To learn more, click below:

Long duration energy storage is instrumental for decarbonization of the power generation sector and to accommodate more renewables in the grid

Brazil launches public consultation on battery capacity reserve auction: According to the draft of the auction rules published by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the procurement exercise will be held in June 2025 for systems with a power output of at least 30 MW which can store energy for at least four hours a day. The draft says that the contracts will cover a period of 10 years, with operation starting in July 2029.

Edwardsburgh-Cardinal in Ontario is set to host Canada’s largest battery energy storage facility, a development led by Toronto-based Potentia Renewables Inc.. This 390-megawatt project, part of a wider initiative by Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) Electricity System Operator, aims to enhance the province's electrical grid. Scheduled to begin construction in 2026 and operational by 2027, the facility represents a significant step towards augmenting Ontario’s clean energy capabilities. This effort aligns with broader goals to meet escalating electricity demands, facilitating a transition to sustainable energy sources and supporting the region’s economic growth and environmental objectives. #Microgrids #RenewableEnergy #SustainableEnergy #EnergyStorage #SmartGrids #GreenEnergy #EnergyInnovation #ResilientInfrastructure #energy #power #electricalengineering #virtualpower #vpp #IESO
