Energy Storage Industry Developments
February 2023: Gore Street Capital acquires 200MW battery storage project in California, UK-listed Gore Street Energy Storage Fund has acquired its first asset in California, a 200MW/400MWh battery energy storage system project from developer Avantus. The two-hour duration project, called Big Rock, is in Imperial County which borders Mexico and will provide power on the electricity market operated the California ISO, or CAISO. The construction-ready project is scheduled to get a grid connection in the second half of 2024 and will start commercial operations shortly after. Battery cell supply agreements and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts have been secured.
February 2023: India’s Ministry of Power issues guidelines for pumped hydro energy storage, Recognising that pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) could be a key foundation technology for India’s renewable energy ambitions, the government Ministry of Power has issued guidelines for its adoption. Pumped hydro can be deployed at large-scale as a key aspect of India’s transition to increased shares of renewable energy and is a domestically available, proven and safe technology, the Ministry of Power wrote in its guidelines, published last week. With the country shifting to deploy 450GW of new solar PV and wind capacity by 2030 under its policy targets – and around a third of the way there today – PHES could supply long-duration energy storage (LDES) to India’s grid network, the ministry said.
February 2023: UK’s Zenobē Energy gets US$285 million financing, starts 300MW BESS project in Scotland, The announcement comes shortly after the UK energy storage and e-mobility specialist secured a £235 million (US$284.8 million) long-term debt facility from five banks. The project, which will be situated between the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness, will be the first in the world to deliver stability services using a transmission connected battery, the firm said.
This is a key milestone in the company’s ambition to deliver 1GW of battery energy storage in Scotland. Once fully operational, the battery asset will have a capacity of 300MW/600MWh. The first phase will see 200MW developed and is set to go live in the summer of 2024. The second phase will develop an additional 100MW and is scheduled to go live in 2026. The project will enable further uptake of renewable power in the region and facilitate offshore wind farms at Viking and Beatrice. Wärtsilä, H&MV, SMA Solar Technology AG and GE Grid Solutions have been selected as key suppliers for the project.
October 2021: the Central Government of India has given the go-ahead to invite the expression of interest (EOI) for installing a 1000 MWh Battery Energy Storage System as a pilot project. This is the joint effort of the Ministry of New and Renewable energy storage and the Ministry of Power, who has been working on this to provide a road map for the installation of the energy storage system in the country.
August 2020: Greenko Energies Pvt Ltd. has signed an MOU with NTPC Limited for various renewable energy projects. Greenko is setting up 40 GWh of hydro-storage projects in six Indian States.
In July 2024, ABB announced a significant collaboration with Ecotricity, a leading renewable energy supplier, to improve the integration of renewable energy and innovative energy storage technology.
This cooperation aims to install a 10 MW grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Ecotricity's wind farm in Gloucestershire, UK. The system optimizes energy storage and distribution by utilizing lithium-ion batteries as well as ABB's eStorage MAX and eStorage OS technologies.

In February 2023, the Indian Ministry of Power announces rules for pumped hydro energy storage. Recognizing that pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) could be a critical foundation technology for India's renewable energy goals, the Ministry of Power has released recommendations for its implementation.
Pumped hydro can be installed on a big scale as part of India's transition to higher renewable energy shares, and it is a domestically available, proven, and safe technology, according to the Ministry of Power's recommendations, which were issued last week. With the country on track to deploy 450GW of new solar PV and wind capacity by 2030, and roughly a third of the way there today, PHES could provide long-duration energy storage (LDES) to India's grid network, the ministry stated.
