Grid Battery tech on track. It now needs re-designed markets, monetisation

March 23, 2020 by Emanuele Taibi, Carlos Fernandez and Aakarshan Vaid

The rapid expansion of variable renewable electricity generation is making cost effective storage more urgent. Sure enough, in Europe several electricity storage projects are under construction and new ones are announced almost on a weekly basis. The battery technology seems to be on track, with estimates of $156/kWh in 2019 dropping to $61/kWh by 2030. But progress is hampered by the lack of a market that recognises and rewards the true value of … [Read more...]
