G7 nations have agreed a new global energy storage target of 1500GW by 2030, a six-fold increase from today’s levels. The new target for cumulative deployments was agreed to in a G7 Ministerial Communique for Climate, Energy, and Environment in Turin, Italy, yesterday (30 April).
[pdf] Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of used by for . A PSH system stores energy in the form of of water, pumped from a lower elevation to a higher elevation. Low-cost surplus off-peak electric power is typically used to run the pumps. During periods of high electrical demand, the stored water is released through to produce electric power.
[pdf] A total of 120MW/140MWh of grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity came online in January 2025, bringing the UK’s total operational capacity to around 6GW/8.3GWh. Meanwhile, the amount that is now under construction has reached 8.2GW/18.7GWh.
[pdf] South Africa''s first public battery storage tender has awarded preferred bidder status to a consortium of CIP-owned Mulilo and renewables major EDF for three battery projects totalling 257MW/1,028MWh. Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage.
[pdf] There are 147 energy storage projects under construction in Europe, with a total capacity of 14 GW, according to the European Energy Storage Inventory, launched by the European Commission.
[pdf] All cost reductions are attributed to improved technology, processes, designs, and contracting along with advanced materials and improved construction practices.
