As we wait for for better batteries, the many wonder technologies we’ve been promised for the last decade have failed to materialize to market for various reasons. This may not be the case of XNRGI, a startup that is ready to ship a “porous” silicon battery that has better energy…

We Scots are often guilty of failing to enunciate our Ts. If you ever hear us referring to a “bah-ery”, we’re talking about energy storage systems. So we may drop our Ts when pronouncing the word, but there’s one “T” that Scottish batteries have a prime opportunity to support: the…

By storing energy we can address the challenge of guaranteeing flexible and reliable supply from weather-dependant energy sources – cutting bills, reducing carbon emissions and delivering on the promise of the energy transition. Energy generation hit the headlines in May as the UK went two weeks without burning coal for…

The technology group Wärtsilä has commissioned its 6 MW / 6 MWh energy management and storage system project for its customer ContourGlobal Bonaire on the Caribbean island of Bonaire. With Phase One complete, the island no longer has to curtail wind resources. It has nearly doubled renewable energy penetration, and…
