Australian Vanadium Limited (AVL) has moved a vanadium flow battery (VFB) project to design phase with the aim of developing a modular, scalable, turnkey, utility-scale battery energy storage .
Enter energy storage cabinets - the unsung heroes transforming overseas power infrastructure through modular lithium-ion systems and AI-driven thermal management. Let's face it: traditional warehouse-sized battery farms simply won't cut it anymore.
It is reported that the Northern Interconnection Clean Energy Base Project in Laos is an important supporting power project for China Laos power interconnection, spanning the provinces of Oudomxay, Phongshali, and Langnantha in Laos, and will build integrated clean energy bases.
A total of 36 battery units, each with a capacity of 3. 44 MW, will power a groundbreaking energy-storage project at Athens airport, totaling just over 123 MW. The project, developed by renewable energy specialist Kiefer, is expected to be fully operational by September.
A solar-powered cabinet in Ouagadougou that can power 200 households during blackouts while making coffee for local engineers. Okay, maybe not the coffee part – but Burkina Faso's cabinet-style energy storage cabins are proving you can teach an old grid new tricks.
All-in BESS projects now cost just $125/kWh as of October 2025 2. With a $65/MWh LCOS, shifting half of daily solar generation overnight adds just $33/MWh to the cost of solar.
The NREL ENDURING project uses molten silicon to store up to 26 GWh of energy at 1,200°C. The MIT Atomisic Stimulation and Energy Research Group is exploring a silicon heat battery that can reach a temperature of 2,400°C and use multi-junction photovoltaics to discharge to electricity.
Completed in 2022, this $200 million project in Liaoning Province provides 12-hour storage capacity – enough to power 75,000 homes during peak demand. Its modular design allows capacity upgrades without replacing existing equipment.
