The project aims to install up to 60 megawatts of grid-connected battery storage capacity and deploy an advanced virtual power plant platform capable of balancing electricity supply and demand in real time.. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is providing a direct equity investment of up to €16.8 million in IE‑Energy Projekt, a newly established joint‑stock company developing a greenfield battery energy storage system (BESS) and virtual power plant (VPP) in Šibenik, Croatia.. Croatia is moving forward with its largest grid-scale battery energy storage project thanks to a new investment from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the bank announced. With solar and wind contributing 18% of national electricity in 2023 (see Table 1), energy storage systems have become the missing. . Croatia's first battery energy storage facility connected to the national transmission grid is taking shape near Šibenik, marking a significant step in modernising the country's energy infrastructure. The €60 million investment, co-financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. [PDF Version]
New energy storage project completed
NYCIDA closed its largest battery energy storage project to date, the East River Energy Storage Project, located on an industrial site on the East River in Astoria, Queens. When built, the facility will be able to hold up to 100 megawatts (MW) and power over tens of thousands of. . Following a record year in 2024, when more than 10 gigawatts of utility-scale battery storage were installed nationwide, deployment accelerated even further in 2025. By mid-2025, industry tracking showed that year-to-date battery installations had already exceeded the total of 2024's additions.. Just eight years ago, site owner Xcel Energy was laying plans to replace its existing Sherco coal power plant at Becker in the Minneapolis area with a new 786-megawatt gas power plant. [PDF Version]
Marseille inter-seasonal energy storage project
There are several types of STES technology, covering a range of applications from single small buildings to community district heating networks. Generally, efficiency increases and the specific construction cost decreases with size. UTES (underground thermal energy storage), in which the storage medium may be geological strata ranging from earth or sand to solid bedrock, or aquifers. UTES technologies include: [PDF Version]FAQS about Marseille inter-seasonal energy storage project
Does seasonal thermal energy storage provide economic competitiveness against existing heating options?
Revelation of economic competitiveness of STES against existing heating options. Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) holds great promise for storing summer heat for winter use. It allows renewable resources to meet the seasonal heat demand without resorting to fossil-based back up. This paper presents a techno-economic literature review of STES.
Can seasonal energy storage be economically viable?
To accommodate the use of this variable energy throughout the year the grid may benefit from economically viable seasonal energy storage to shift energy from one season to another. Storage of this nature is expected to have output durations from 500 to 1000 hours or more.
What are the different types of seasonal thermal energy storage facilities?
Currently, four main types of seasonal storage facilities are used: tanks, pits, boreholes, and aquifers . The characteristics of seasonal thermal energy storage concepts are presented in Table 1 [16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24].
How does seasonal heat storage reduce energy losses?
Given that seasonal heat storage is based on sensible heat, the reduction in energy losses for large storage volumes and long storage periods is achieved through solutions placed in the ground, where the soil temperature variation is lower than the outside temperature variation.
Ottawa New Energy Storage Project
The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) enables Ottawa to integrate six newly approved solar projects and reduce increasing reliance on gas-fired electricity during peak hours.. The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) enables Ottawa to integrate six newly approved solar projects and reduce increasing reliance on gas-fired electricity during peak hours.. In 2025, the City of Ottawa established official plan and zoning provisions for battery energy storage uses in accordance with new Official Plan policy. BESS is an emerging technology using batteries and associated equipment to store excess energy from the electrical grid, which can then discharge. . Changes have been made to the city's Official Plan and zoning bylaws to create a building for storing electricity in off-peak hours from the grid.
