Battery-led storage deployments need to sextuple globally says IEA

Smart Energy International

Despite immense cost cuts and their deployment in the power sector last year more than doubling, batteries need to lead a sixfold increase in global energy storage deployments to enable the world to meet 2030 targets, says the International Energy Agency (IEA). But today, the energy sector accounts for over 90% of overall battery demand.

Kauai to Hit 80% Renewable Power With Solar-Charged Hydro Storage

GreenTechMedia

With several lithium-ion battery installations to shift solar generation into later parts of the day, Kauai has gone for as long as nine hours in a day on entirely renewable electricity production. A small battery next to the solar facility will keep the pumps running smoothly when clouds are blocking the sun.
