Energy Storage news - December 5th, 2020

This week’s TOP 5 features news about the commissioning of a 50 MW battery storage system in Ireland, the plans for a 10 MW battery in Belgium to be operated by Centrica on the secondary reserve for frequency control, the start of a series of large storage projects to be deployed by Cambridge Power in the UK, the approval of several large storage projects in Nevada by the local Public Utilities Commission, and the entry of storage solution supplier E22 on the Australian market.

1. London-listed Gore Street Energy Storage Fund completed a 50 MW battery storage project in Northern Ireland.
2.  Belgium's largest battery project to date, a 10 MW / 20 MWh system, will be developed by the consortium EStor-Lux and operated by Centrica.
3. Cambridge Power will deploy several energy storage projects with the financial support of Pigeon Investment Management, including a 50 MW battery in the UK.
4. The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada has approved 3 large solar-plus-storage projects from NV Energy which will be installed by 2023.  
5. Spanish system integrator E22 has begun the installation of its first energy storage system in Australia.

Erratum

In last week's TOP 5, EStor-Lux's battery storage project has been wrongly described as Belgium's largest project. This title is actually held by Tesla's 18 MW / 22 MWh system operating at the Terhills installation.
