Energy Storage

German coal miner LEAG is planning a massive clean energy hub, comprising up to 14 GW of wind and solar energy generation paired with 2 GWh to 3 GWh of battery energy storage and 2 GW of green hydrogen production. Combined, these technologies are expected to create a net-zero baseload energy system.

The integrated power utility, which targets 5 GW of renewables capacity in the next five years, has been allotted 6,000 hectares of land to develop green hydrogen and renewable energy projects in Gujarat.

The researchers deposited reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires over seaweed cellulose to make the anode material for the supercapacitor. The device exhibited a greater energy density of 5.21 Wh/kg, a series resistance of 2.16 ohms, and no air degradation even after 5,000 cycles.  

The state-owned hydropower producer has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Maharashtra State Power Generation Co. (MAHAGENCO) to develop 5 GW of renewable energy projects across hydro, pumped storage, wind, solar, hybrid, and green hydrogen technologies in Maharashtra.

By 2050, the practice of using renewable energy to electrolyze water and create hydrogen fuel may reach a global market of well over $1 trillion USD.

India has retained its crown as the most attractive market for solar investment, according to the latest edition of Ernst & Young’s renewables attractiveness index. 

US utility Georgia Power has more than 850 MW of active energy storage projects under development or in operation across its service territory.

The selected bidders will set up grid-connected solar projects anywhere in Punjab to supply the power.

NHDC is constructing a 525 MW pumped storage power project near Indira Sagar Dam to meet the peak-hour energy demand of Madhya Pradesh.

The Central Electricity Authority recently approved a 1.35 GW pumped storage project in Andhra Pradesh in a record time of 70 days.
