GE Renewable Energy to supply and commission four 125 MW fixed speed pumped storage turbines for the new Kundah hydropower plant. The project is part of ongoing effort by Indian government to take full advantage of hydropower...

California officials expect that the state needs 1 gigawatt of new long-duration energy storage by 2026 to advance its clean-energy transition. That figure emerged in the "reference system portfolio" that the California Public...

As the global energy market, piece by piece, slowly but surely, moves towards a renewables-centered paradigm, dispatchable solar and uncurtailed wind, along with other forms of clean energy, are requiring longer and longer...

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is likely to fall short of its greenhouse gas emission goals if it cannot implement utility-scale storage, according to a new study...

Recent growth in renewable energy, spurred by state mandates, federal tax incentives, and increasingly attractive costs, has shifted attention to the use of energy storage to ensure that variable wind and solar generation...

California is a leader in renewable energy, and the state has pledged to use only clean sources for electricity, including wind and solar power, by 2045...

Scientists from General Electric's Global Research Center in Niskayuna recently won a $1.25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to study the viability of so-called pumped storage hydropower technology that essentially...

In recent years, 50-60% of Uruguay's power has been generated from the country's four hydroelectric dams on the River Uruguay. Most of the remainder comes from renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines....

The venture capital unit of Mexican cement giant Cemex is investing in Swiss company Energy Vault, which has developed energy storage technology inspired by pumped hydro plants...

The Ludington pumped storage facility is essentially one of the world's largest batteries. Consumers Energy gets its base load of energy from its coal and gas plants across the state. When the energy demands peak above that...

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has turned two big lakes into a monster battery capable of storing enough energy to power tens of thousands of homes...

Pumped storage accounts for over 94% of installed global energy storage capacity, rightfully deserving the accolade of being the world's 'water battery'...

The power grid is a pretty complex system. Electricity is generally produced on an as-needed basis. Generators ramp up and down based on demand. However, energy storage systems are beginning to change how demands are being...

Recent developments to do with pumped hydro, liquid air and kinetic energy storage technology hold out the promise of inexpensive, widely available energy storage...

The U.S. Department of Energy announced selections for up to $7.5 million for innovations that reduce cost and maximize the value of new stream-reach hydropower development and pumped storage hydropower. Funded projects will...
