Finland's Fortum just applied for permits to build two massive energy storage facilities in Sweden that could power the country's clean energy future. The projects would nearly 10x the company's current storage capacity in the region.
State-owned energy giant Statkraft has greenlit a new pumped-storage hydropower project in Norway, adding to the country's renewable energy infrastructure. The approval signals continued investment in clean energy storage solutions that help balance power grids.
For the first time ever, battery energy storage systems have overtaken traditional pumped hydropower as the world's largest energy storage technology. This breakthrough marks a turning point in our ability to store clean energy and power the grid reliably.
New South Wales just fast-tracked two massive pumped hydro projects that will store renewable energy for up to 16 hours, helping Australia move beyond coal power. Together, they'll generate enough electricity to power every home in Perth during peak demand.
Finnish energy company Fortum has applied for permits to build a massive 864-megawatt pumped storage facility in Sweden, a critical technology for storing renewable energy. The project could help solve one of clean energy's biggest challenges: keeping the lights on when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. #
Scientists have identified enough potential pumped hydro storage sites worldwide to power a fully renewable energy future. Nearly every country has more than enough locations to meet their clean energy storage needs.
After decades of stagnation, America's oldest renewable energy source is making a comeback through innovative storage projects that could power the AI boom. New pumped hydro facilities are set to store clean energy on a massive scale, giving this "forgotten giant" a fresh purpose.
The world just passed a major clean energy milestone as pumped storage hydropower topped 200 gigawatts for the first time. This "water battery" technology is becoming essential as solar and wind power expand worldwide.
A British company just solved the biggest complaint about switching from gas boilers to eco-friendly heat pumps: losing precious indoor storage space. Their new design puts everything outside in a single unit that installs in just one day.
Dutch homeowners are buying solar panels as part of whole-home electrification projects, pairing them with batteries and heat pumps instead of treating them as standalone investments. Despite policy uncertainty ahead of a major subsidy phaseout, the solar-plus-storage revolution is helping thousands of homes cut energy bills and keep running during grid shortages.
A Slovenian engineering firm just landed the contract to build Norway's biggest pumped-storage hydropower plant, turning mountains into a massive renewable energy battery. The €220 million project proves small countries can drive Europe's green energy future.
Chile is getting twice the clean energy storage capacity it planned, with massive new batteries that can pump out 196MW of solar power for five straight hours. This doubles down on the country's commitment to making renewable energy as reliable as traditional power.
The world installed enough battery storage in 2025 to power millions of homes, marking a milestone that took solar and wind far longer to achieve. Energy storage is now growing faster than any other clean energy technology in history.
A new home battery system lets homeowners add energy storage to their existing solar panels without replacing expensive equipment, and many can install it themselves. The plug-in approach could make clean energy storage accessible to millions more households.
The World Bank just approved $265 million to help Morocco build a massive energy storage facility that will make room for more solar and wind power. This project could unlock $1 billion in private investment for renewable energy across North Africa.
Portugal is launching a groundbreaking energy plan that puts battery storage at the center of its clean power future. The country aims to keep lights on reliably while dramatically expanding solar and wind energy over the next decade.
India's energy storage capacity is set to explode from less than 1 GWh today to 346 GWh by 2033, powered by smart policies that are making clean energy more reliable than ever. The country just launched 102 GWh worth of new battery projects in a single year, nearly double the previous annual record.
The world's battery storage capacity just doubled in a single year, breaking the 100-gigawatt barrier for the first time. Falling costs are making clean energy storage affordable enough to transform how we power our lives.
Texas just installed enough battery storage to power 675,000 homes, leading a nationwide surge that's transforming how America uses electricity. The state now accounts for more than a quarter of all new energy storage in the country.
America just installed enough battery storage in one year to power Houston through the night. Despite political headwinds, the clean energy storage revolution is accelerating across red and blue states alike.
