The 25MW/100MWh project in Rudong, the company's first commercial grid-scale project using its proprietary EVx gravity energy storage technology, was connected to the grid in December 2023, it announced last week (29 February). It can now start full commissioning of the project. When energy is needed, the thing can fall, and the potential energy is converted back into electricity. This is how it works: When surplus energy is available from connected wind or solar power plants, the blocks, each weighing 24 tonnes and measuring around 12 cubic metres, are moved upwards in the buildings, which. Energy Vault Holdings announced, along with its partners Atlas Renewable and China Tianying, that the world's first grid-scale gravity energy storage system (GESS), has entered the first phases of commissioning. Once provincial and state approvals are obtained to start operating, it will become the world's first commercial, utility-scale, non-pumped hydro GESS.

Drawing attention with its various investments in the energy sector, Kontrolmatik, through its subsidiary Progresiva, is establishing Turkey's largest energy storage facility. Once installed, the facility will be able to provide electricity for 4 hours with a power of 1 GWh. Well, you might be wondering—why is a 250MW energy storage project in Ankara making headlines globally? The answer lies in Turkey's ambitious renewable targets colliding with grid instability issues. With solar and wind now contributing 18% of national electricity (up from 12% in 2022), the. As Turkey's capital races toward its 2030 renewable energy targets, these projects are not just technical marvels—they're reshaping the region's energy landscape. Let's dive into how Ankara became a hotspot for innovation, and why this topic is hotter than a Turkish coffee on a summer afternoon!. ory in Ankara,Turkey will start in Q4 2022.

The Mexican government announced in March 2025 a first-of-its-kind measure in the region: all solar and wind power plants must integrate battery systems equivalent to 30% of their installed capacity, with a minimum of three hours of discharge. CRE regulation integrates batteries, intermittency management and grid operation backup through energy storage. Electric energy storage has become a crucial component in the transition to more sustainable, reliable and efficient energy systems. In Mexico, this concept has taken on greater relevance. While the country boasts immense potential in solar and wind resources, the path to a sustainable and secure energy future is still hampered by a crucial missing element: energy storage. This move, announced by Jorge Islas, Undersecretary for Planning and Energy Transition, aligns Mexico with global efforts. Energy transition initiatives have continued to decelerate in Mexico, as the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) favoured backing state-owned enterprises such as national oil firm Pemex and power utility CFE. The reversal in climate change initiatives has seen Mexico's.
