China nails down the world’s largest pumped hydro energy storage project — so far — with a high tech twist from GE Power Conversion.
Australian renewable energy and storage company Genex Power this week announced it has secured AU$516 million (US$382 million) in financing from the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility for a 520 megawatt (MW) solar PV and pumped-hydro storage project.
The Green School in Bali is the brainchild of founder John Hardy who, in 2008 had just wrapped up a 20-year career in the jewelry industry and watched Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth which, in John’s words to us over dinner, “ruined his life” as it demanded action on his part.

Perhaps more impressively, Portugal put up these numbers in the face of a massive 9.7% year over year increase in electricity consumption versus 2017.
In the last couple of years, there has been a growing a number of news articles and blog posts published about energy storage, particularly in the form of battery systems. This interest is very reasonable and the news is exciting because these systems can fill in wind power and solar power electricity production gaps. In many places, they could replace gas-powered peaker plants.
Australian energy company AGL has announced plans to close the 2 gigawatt coal-fired Liddell Power Station and replace it with at least 1.6 gigawatts of renewable energy, battery storage, and demand response.
A new report published last week by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Energy Storage concludes that installing 12 gigawatts of battery storage is achievable in the United Kingdom by the end of 2021, but that a “medium” target of 8 gigawatts is more likely.
