Brookfield, Solarvest partner on 1.5 GW of solar-plus-storage in Malaysia
The two parties have signed a joint investment framework agreement to develop, construct and operate 1.5 GW worth of solar-plus-storage projects in Malaysia over the next three to five years.
The Hydrogen Stream: Japanese researchers develop low-temperature hydrogen battery
Institute of Science Tokyo researchers proposed a battery with magnesium hydride (MgH2) as the anode and hydrogen (H2) gas as the cathode. Meanwhile, researchers at Chung-Ang University proposed chloride-resistant ruthenium (Ru)-based nanocatalysts for direct electrolysis and hydrogen production from seawater.
BYD unveils 14.5 MWh storage system, world’s largest yet
China’s EV giant has unveiled the 14.5 MWh DC “Haohan” single-unit DC block with record-breaking capacity to challenge next-generation energy storage market.
Making BESS warranties work: Contracts vs. reality
Striking a careful balance between technical limitations, market ambitions, and contractual realism in operating battery energy storage systems (BESS) is no easy task. Rigid battery warranties can often be a make-or-break factor in BESS asset management. As a result, many industry players now argue that adopting a more flexible approach to warranties could unlock greater value from these inherently flexible assets.
AlphaESS releases liquid-cooled ESS for commercial, industrial use
The Chinese storage manufacturer said its new energy storage system has a capacity of 261 kWh per cabinet. It can be expanded up to 50 units in parallel, scaling to multi-MWh projects.
China completes 1 GW solar-wind-storage complex in Qinghai desert
Chinese conglomerate CRRC has commissioned a 1 GW hybrid project in Qinghai, combining 700 MW of solar, 300 MW of wind, and 100 MW/400 MWh of storage with Trinasolar’s Vertex tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) modules.
Scatec’s investment portfolio in Egypt valued at $3.6 billion
Norwegian renewables company Scatec is developing a series of projects in Egypt under the country’s flagship climate action program, including two gigawatt-scale solar-plus-storage sites.
Philippines switches on agrovoltaic complex with 320 MWh battery storage
The Citicore Solar Batangas 1 Power Plants stand as the Philippines’ first integrated agrovoltaic and battery storage facility.
Hydrogen can mitigate curtailment in floating PV-pumped hydro energy storage systems
Scientists at Italy’s University of Cagliari explored the integration of a water electrolyzer with a floating PV-pumped hydro energy storage system. They found that under high curtailment conditions, hydrogen production helped to stabilize system efficiency and lower the levelized cost of electricity when compared to a system without the electrolyzer.
SunCable to supply solar and storage to data centers by 2028
SunCable has confirmed its large-scale renewable and energy storage project in Australia’s Northern Territory could be operational before 2030, following a “pragmatic” reprioritization of initial plans.
