Serbia postpones connection studies for renewables until 2029
Updates to Serbia’s energy law push back connection studies for variable renewable energy sources until 2029, introduce rules for customers looking to install batteries that will transfer excess energy back to the grid and allow multiple end users within one building to act as a group.
Storing renewables with compressed air in urban heating pipeline
Researchers in China have developed a heating pipeline compressed-air energy storage (HP-CAES) concept that repurposes urban district heating networks as large-scale storage vessels for surplus renewable electricity. The system stores compressed air and recovered compression heat within existing pipelines, enabling both energy storage and heating functions with improved efficiency and lower infrastructure requirements compared to conventional tank-based CAES.
