The World Bank Group has approved plans to develop Botswana’s first utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) with 50MW output and 200MWh storage capacity. The World Bank will support the 4-hour duration BESS via a loan of US$88 million. [pdf]
A new energy storage plant featuring sodium- and lithium-ion batteries has opened in China's Yunnan province. The energy storage station, operated by China Southern Power Grid, is approximately 33,333 square meters in size and features over 150 battery compartments, according to CnEVPost. [pdf]
Today, in May 2022, we have 13 projects operating with a combined capacity of 500 MW and we expect this to grow rapidly to nearly 800 MW by 2023. There are nearly 60 more battery storage projects – 2,500 MW – in development on the island and we are confident of delivering on our 2030 targets. [pdf]
The Botswana energy storage project is quietly becoming Africa’s dark horse in the clean energy race. As of March 2025, this $120 million initiative has already deployed enough battery capacity to power 15,000 homes during peak demand. [pdf]

In the 1950s, flywheel-powered buses, known as , were used in () and () and there is ongoing research to make flywheel systems that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and have a greater capacity. It is hoped that flywheel systems can replace conventional chemical batteries for mobile applications, such as for electric vehicles. Proposed flywh. [pdf]
To accelerate deployment, the European Commission approved a €700 million aid package for energy storage in Spain. Managed by IDAE, the program offers up to 85% co-financing for a wide range of storage technologies, including standalone and hybrid BESS, pumped hydro, and independent thermal storage. [pdf]
While the EU mandates storage-ready buildings by 2026, some US states offer tax breaks that essentially make systems free. Pro tip: Watch for FERC Order 2222 – it's letting small storage systems compete directly with traditional power plants. Recyclable zinc-air batteries (take that, lithium mines!) [pdf]
