Texas and California have been making headlines with the scale of energy storage deployment this year. As a Canadian based start-up, we’re thrilled to see Canada picking up the pace in this sector that is paramount to reaching global decarbonisation goals. This overview from pv magazine Global looks at how Canada is kicking battery storage deployment into gear. Highlights: 👉 The deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS) is rapidly increasing, with a major 705 MWh system coming to Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan's first utility-scale BESS project going online last week. 👉 These are significant steps towards Canada's renewable energy goals, with Nova Scotia aiming for 80% renewables by 2030. Battery storage will play a key role in grid stability and reliability as we integrate more solar and wind power. While this progress is significant, there's room for even faster growth. At e-Zinc we're doing our part by bringing to market a zinc based long duration energy storage technology that can provide energy for up to multiple days and uses a globally abundant material as the base for our technology. Get in touch to learn more about our solution, and let's accelerate the transition together! Read full story here -> https://lnkd.in/eQ4NzZ-q #Canada #energytransition #energystorage

We can't wait to officially unveil our new facility this fall. Stay tuned!
e-Zinc a Toronto-based long-term battery storage company, has raised $42 million to support two pilot projects and refine its technology for commercialization and certification. “The objective over the next couple of years is to go through this second chapter of our journey, where we will now be transitioning from prototype manufacturing methods to pilot methods,” CEO James Larsen told Sustainable Biz Canada. At its finished Mississauga pilot facility, staff are being shuffled in to prepare for pilot projects with the California Energy Commission and Toyota Tsusho Canada Inc. #batteries #fundraising #sustainability https://lnkd.in/e-ZqXw7G

Does Google hold the key to unlocking 24/7 clean power? The energy sector is undergoing a massive shift, driven by big companies like Google, Microsoft, and Nucor Corporation who are banding together to source reliable clean power. By collaborating with utilities, they're creating new pathways to secure reliable, around-the-clock clean power. Why it matters: 🚀 Demand for clean energy is skyrocketing. These companies are hungry for clean energy sources that are available 24/7, while solar and wind can be intermittent. 🤝 New clean energy tariffs are emerging, and power utilities are partnering with big buyers to develop tariffs that support new nuclear, renewable energy, and long-duration energy storage. 💫 Energy storage is key to enabling the clean energy transition. By storing excess renewable energy, storage can help ensure a consistent supply of clean power. The future of energy is clean and reliable, and energy storage is a critical piece of the puzzle! e-Zinc has developed a zinc-based long duration energy storage solution that can accelerate the achievement of businesses' clean energy goals. Contact Balakrishnan Iyer today to learn more about our technology. Read the full story here 👉 https://lnkd.in/epjUv9-n #cleanenergy #energystorage #gridtransition #LDES

Some great news to kick off the week - energy storage is booming! The US is experiencing a surge in battery storage, with a record-breaking first quarter in 2024. Overall installations grew a massive 84% year-on-year, with grid storage showing even faster growth. This boom is driven by a perfect storm: rapidly growing solar capacity and the need for solutions to manage excess clean energy. Battery storage is proving its value by helping prevent blackouts, meeting peak demand fluctuations, and displacing fossil fuel usage. This trend is poised to continue, presenting exciting opportunities for utilities and energy sensitive businesses to capitalise on the growing demand for battery storage solutions. Are you ready to join the clean energy revolution? Our long duration energy storage solution can last for multiple days and work reliably in harsh (read: hot) conditions. Get in touch with our team to see how it might fit into your energy resilience strategy. #energystorage #renewableenergy #energytransition #LDES Read full story -> https://lnkd.in/ed-Ar8Wk
