Government outlines €400 million plan to strengthen grid resilience after April blackout. Portugal will launch a competitive tender for 750 MVA of battery energy storage before January 2026, as part of a broader €400 million package aimed at improving grid reliability and preventing future blackouts.

Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196. [pdf]
The government of Burkina Faso recently reached a public-private partnership with the Dutch company Gutami Holdings to jointly develop and construct a 150 megawatt solar photovoltaic power generation project, and to build a 50 megawatt hour battery energy storage system. [pdf]
This project, as first PV-Storage Project in Laos, was constructed by CEEC China Gezhouba Group Co., Ltd. (CGGC) under an EPC contract. The milestone signifies the project's transition into a new phase of full-scale operation. [pdf]
The international tender, first announced in February, aimed to secure 500 MW of energy storage capacity for critical points in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) grid. In a strong show of interest, 15 companies submitted 27 different project proposals. [pdf]

GSSG Chikuden secures a $400 million investment from Vision Ridge Partners to develop utility-scale battery storage across Japan. This strategic move aims to fortify the nation’s grid, integrate more renewables, and accelerate decarbonization efforts. [pdf]
The project—developed by BKS Green Energy, a joint venture involving PetroGreen Energy Corporation and Japan’s TAISEI Corporation—will supply clean power to 33,000 households and reduce annual carbon emissions by approximately 31,700 metric tons. [pdf]
The Project involves the construction and 25-year operation of a new power plant in Manatuto, Timor-Leste, comprising a 72 MW solar power plant co-located with a 36 MW/36 MWh battery energy storage system. This will be the country’s first full-scale renewable energy IPP project. [pdf]
The NZ Battery Project was set up in 2020 to explore possible renewable energy storage solutions for when our hydro lakes run low for long periods. A pumped hydro scheme at Lake Onslow was one of the options being explored. The Government stopped the Lake Onslow investigations in late 2023. [pdf]
