In addition to having spotted Tesla and SolarCity early, with Pfund sitting on the boards of both at various times, DBL’s investments in energy storage and related companies include Advanced Microgrid Solutions, Off-Grid Electric and flow battery maker Primus Power. “It was a seminal year for energy storage, 2016.
The market for battery energy storage is estimated to grow to $10.84bn in 2026. The fall in battery technology prices and the increasing need for grid stability are just two reasons GlobalData have predicted for this growth, with the integration of renewable power holding significant sway over the power market.
Intensive energy use and the frequent need for portable or off-grid power are thought to be among the drivers of this increasing interest in renewable energy. In February PV Tech Storage reported that another grid-scale storage company, Primus Power, was supplying flow batteries to a micro-grid project at a military base in San Diego, California.
Among the handful of vanadium redox flow energy storage system manufacturers operating today, with others including Primus Power, VIZn Energy, Redflow, Sumitomo, Rongke Power and Redt, VIONX has been among the more successful in attracting investment funding – the company netted US$12.75 million in venture capital (VC) funding in
Swiss start-up Energy Vault was inspired by pumped hydro power stations to create its gravity-based energy storage solution. Concrete blocks weighing 35 metric tonnes are lowered up and down an energy storage tower, storing and releasing energy as they go. As the bricks are lifted, energy is stored in the elevation gain.
The British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) is an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom situated in the Indian Ocean, halfway between Tanzania and Indonesia.The territory comprises the seven atolls of the Chagos Archipelago with over 1,000 individual islands, many very small, amounting to a total land area of 60 square kilometres (23 square miles).

Redflow and Primus Power from the US are among the most prominent to be delivering zinc bromine energy storage units. Energy-Storage.news has reported extensively on the space over the past few years, most recently and perhaps in most depth in this feature article for PV Tech Power, where we spoke with four different providers to learn about
According to Power Technology''s parent company, GlobalData, global energy storage capacity is indeed set to reach the COP29 target of 1.5TW by 2030. Rich explains that pumped storage hydroelectricity (PSH) has been central to the energy transition, having contributed more than 90% of deployed global energy storage capacity until 2020.

Product; Energy Storage Multiple hours of battery power are required to bridge power outages and are a critical component of commercial/industrial microgrids and utility grids alike.
Meanwhile, a new series of reports from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Coalition for Action is being published with non-governmental stakeholder recommendations for promoting investment in solar PV, grids and energy storage. India needs 74GW of energy storage, 170,000km of new transmission by 2032
A local government-owned utility in Australia''s Northern Territory is set to go ahead with a 5MW / 3.3MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in the town of Alice Springs. Territory Generation, owned by the Northern Territory''s government and incorporated in 2014, will build the system, which can store 5MW of electricity for 40 minutes.
Among the handful of vanadium redox flow energy storage system manufacturers operating today, with others including Primus Power, VIZn Energy, Redflow, Sumitomo, Rongke Power and Redt, VIONX has been
Energy storage developer Eku Energy has started constructing a 250MW/500MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Canberra, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). A groundbreaking ceremony was held today (22 November), with the recently re-elected ACT chief minister Andrew Barr in attendance.

Unlike lithium-ion based systems, EnergyPod 2 has no fire concerns and energy capacity does not fade over time. Its optimized design eliminates expensive and life-limiting components – membranes/separators, graphite electrodes, and complex plumbing – that spoil the economics of other flow batteries.
"In contrast to other energy storage facilities that convert the electrical current into other energy carriers – for example into compressed air – we are storing the electricity directly with brine4power." Companies such as
