The Mexican government announced in March 2025 a first-of-its-kind measure in the region: all solar and wind power plants must integrate battery systems equivalent to 30% of their installed capacity, with a minimum of three hours of discharge. CRE regulation integrates batteries, intermittency management and grid operation backup through energy storage. Electric energy storage has become a crucial component in the transition to more sustainable, reliable and efficient energy systems. In Mexico, this concept has taken on greater relevance. While the country boasts immense potential in solar and wind resources, the path to a sustainable and secure energy future is still hampered by a crucial missing element: energy storage. This move, announced by Jorge Islas, Undersecretary for Planning and Energy Transition, aligns Mexico with global efforts. Energy transition initiatives have continued to decelerate in Mexico, as the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) favoured backing state-owned enterprises such as national oil firm Pemex and power utility CFE. The reversal in climate change initiatives has seen Mexico's.

The 25MW/100MWh project in Rudong, the company's first commercial grid-scale project using its proprietary EVx gravity energy storage technology, was connected to the grid in December 2023, it announced last week (29 February). It can now start full commissioning of the project. When energy is needed, the thing can fall, and the potential energy is converted back into electricity. This is how it works: When surplus energy is available from connected wind or solar power plants, the blocks, each weighing 24 tonnes and measuring around 12 cubic metres, are moved upwards in the buildings, which. Energy Vault Holdings announced, along with its partners Atlas Renewable and China Tianying, that the world's first grid-scale gravity energy storage system (GESS), has entered the first phases of commissioning. Once provincial and state approvals are obtained to start operating, it will become the world's first commercial, utility-scale, non-pumped hydro GESS.

Japan's largest renewable battery energy storage system (BESS) project has broken ground in Kyushu spearheaded by developers, Osaka Gas and Sonnedix. In the past few months, Energy-Storage. These have. According to Storage Discover, on February 4, 2025, Nikkei News and several other media outlets reported that Tesla (TSLA. O) has entered into a partnership with Japanese financial services group ORIX to provide a Megapack energy storage system with a total capacity of 548 megawatt-hours (MWh) for. In response to this issue, Sumitomo Corporation aims to expand its business of storing energy nationwide in Japan by developing a large-scale energy storage platform that can compensate for this lack of transmission line capacity. Here, we will delve into our path taken to launch a completely new. Hirohara BESS is our first project in Japan. It will be operational in early 2027.
