New York awarded $16.6 million in funding for five long-duration energy storage projects and made another $17 million available for projects that advance development of long-duration energy storage technologies, including hydrogen.
The state’s larger goal is to install 3,000 MW of energy storage by 2030 to help integrate renewables. New York wants to eventually develop 6,000 MW.
As a power crunch precipitated by an extended heat wave eased, the California Solar and Storage Association (CALSSA) said that the state had more than 80,000 customer-sited batteries connected to the electric grid capable of providing 900 MW of solar power.
Iberdrola, one of the world's largest clean energy developers and asset owners, has committed more than $3 billion to develop clean energy projects in Australia.
Iberdrola CEO Ignacio Galán said the investment will deliver new renewable energy capacity, battery storage, and green hydrogen projects, as well as transmission networks.
Clean energy software and data analytics firm Arcadia said it surpassed 1 GW of community solar capacity under management, an industry first and milestone for the startup founded in 2014.
