SunEdison, Inc. (NYSE: SUNE), announced last week the signing of a 10-year agreement with Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator for the supply 5 megawatts (20 MWh) of battery storage.
The project will use vanadium redox flow battery technology from a leader in the sector; Imergy.
The storage revolution has just been given a kick-start, as sales of Tesla’s much-vaunted Powerwall home battery unit have now begun in Australia, with the first units expected to be installed in January.
The first three local installers for the wall-mounted, rechargeable lithium-ion battery were announced this week: electricity retailers Origin Energy and Simply Energy, and Sydney-based solar installer Natural Solar.
According to New Zealand’s Ministry of Innovation, Business and Employment, the country added an additional 5 MW of solar capacity between June and September 2015.
The latest New Zealand Energy Quarterly states solar electricity generation was up 91.9% compared to last year’s September quarter.
