This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. The tricky thing about generating electricity is that for the most part, you pretty much have to use it or lose it.

Flow-style batteries are already demonstrating the potential to dramatically cut the cost of energy storage used to capture the excess output of grid-scale wind and solar plants for later use. A rapid ...

Global battery storage capacity surged to 375 GWh in 2024, led by China and the U.S., and is projected to rise ninefold by 2040. Falling costs and new technology are making storage projects more ...

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are revolutionizing how energy is managed. These systems are critical for improving grid efficiency, integrating renewable energy, and ensuring a reliable power ...

In a milestone for lithium-free battery technology, the collaborative R&D project INNOBATT, led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Systems and Device Technology (IISB), has completed a battery ...

Last November, the legislature passed an energy bill that, among other things, requires a massive build-out of large battery energy storage systems (BESS). We are now seeing the wheels in motion as ...

Massachusetts is making a big push for batteries — not the kind you put in a flashlight, but powerful, tractor trailer-sized batteries that store energy for the electric grid. State officials say more ...
