The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has proposed the procurement of over 10GW of new #energy resources, including 2GW of long duration energy storage. Following the California Energy Commission's (CEC) emphasis on the importance of energy storage with an eight-hour or more discharge, this is the latest signal that LDES is being embraced as a powerful #decarbonization solution. The procurement seeks #LDES with 1GW multi-day energy storage and 1GW with a 12-hour or more discharge, alongside 1GW of #geothermal systems and 7.6GW of offshore #wind, totaling 10.6GW of nameplate capacity. California currently has over 10GW of battery storage, with projections indicating 52GW will be needed to achieve the state's goal of 100% #renewable energy by 2045. The #Time4Action is now to ensure #3xRenewables by 2030. To learn more, click below:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has opened applications for $1M in long duration energy storage vouchers, meeting the nation's growing demand for round-the-clock #renewable energy. Managed by ENERGYWERX in partnership with the DOE, the program offers two voucher opportunities supporting technology developers alongside communities or other entities interested in deploying #LDES for the first time. "Our vision is to create a resilient energy future by bringing clean energy options directly to neighborhoods across America, ensuring reliability and equity for all," said Assistant Secretary for Electricity Gene Rodrigues. As the US strives towards its 2050 net-zero carbon goals, this program underscores the crucial role of long duration energy storage as a #decarbonization solution. The #Time4Action is now to ensure #3xRenewables by 2030. Recipient applications are due August 28, 2024 To learn more, click below:

The LDES Council is pleased to see states like New York helping to advance LDES deployments, aligning with their target of 6GW energy storage by 2030. Supported by a $5 million investment, New York State's "Renewable Optimization and Energy Storage Innovation Program" is the latest signal that #LDES is being embraced as a powerful #decarbonization and grid flexibility solution. New York’s solicitation will foster clean energy #innovation, including for LDES deployment, and is projected to reduce future statewide electric system costs by nearly $2 billion and help eliminate the state's most polluting fossil fuel power plants. As energy grids increasingly rely on variable wind and solar PV, the need for longer duration energy storage solutions will grow. The LDES Council is excited to continue these discussions at the Australian Clean Energy Summit 2024, which will be held July 16-17 in Sydney. Julia Souder, along with several LDES Council members, will attend this event, which will bring together policymakers, investors, and leaders driving Australia's energy transformation. In New South Wales, LDES technologies are becoming integral to the state's energy system. As the state prepares to phase out its remaining coal-fired power stations over the next decade, the NSW government seeks a gigawatt of long duration storage, equating to at least eight gigawatt hours. The #Time4Action is now to ensure #3xRenewables by 2030.

Members Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc., ESS, Inc., and Invinity Energy Systems are testing long duration energy storage applications for the U.S. military and Native American lands, enhancing energy resiliency through microgrids. For outage-prone tribal communities, the California Energy Commission (CEC) and Indian Energy LLC are collaborating to learn as much as possible about #LDES through various grants. Through a $4.85 million agreement, the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar's Rapid Integration and Commercialization Unit (RICU) is working with ESS to implement their Iron Flow Battery Energy Storage System, which will provide sustainable power to Native communities across California and the US. The RICU is a living laboratory for integrating advanced LDES technologies into utility-scale microgrids. Additionally, the RICU is testing EOS's zinc-based Znyth battery for use in a hospital microgrid in Ontario, California, enhancing #renewable energy use and reducing diesel dependence. The CEC recently funded 18 Invinity vanadium flow batteries at the Rincon Reservation near Valley Center, California, providing 4 MWh capacity. These batteries enable the microgrid to operate independently for up to 10 hours, lowering the reservation's monthly demand charges. The #Time4Action is now to ensure #3xRenewables by 2030.
