With its capital Pyongyang experiencing chronic power shortages, the nation is doubling down on energy storage hydropower stations – a hybrid solution combining traditional hydropower with modern storage tech. [pdf]
While the West experiments with solid-state and graphene batteries, North Korea bets on: Saltwater batteries: Using abundant seawater electrolytes—eco-friendly and sanction-proof. Hybrid systems: Pairing wind turbines with gravity storage (think lifting concrete blocks with excess energy). [pdf]
State-led solar and wind projects, along with investments in grid infrastructure and storage, are now advancing at pace. More recently, the Macedonian Solar Energy Association and pv Europe have entered into a strategic cooperation to support the energy transition [pdf]

In 2022, a solar farm outside Pyongyang integrated lead-acid batteries to store excess daytime energy. While the system’s efficacy lagged behind lithium-ion counterparts, it reduced evening grid reliance by 40%—a win in a country where lightbulbs flicker like fireflies [1]. [pdf]
The deal awarded to the subsidiary of Kontrolmatik Technologies is valued at roughly USD 19.7 million (EUR 18.8m), Fortis Energy said on Monday. The battery energy storage system (BESS) is set to become operational in the second half of this year. [pdf]
The project, which originated from a request for proposal (RFP) process launched in 2021, will be developed on a remediated landfill in Brunei. It is expected to generate an annual output of 64.47 million kWh of renewable energy, said Solarvest in a statement. [pdf]
The projects, totaling 1,068 MW, were selected through the company’s 2023 Clean and Renewable Energy Subscription (CARES) request for proposals, part of the utility’s 2022 integrated resource plan. Each facility will be built and operated by third-party developers under long-term PPAs. [pdf]
Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor () to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as . When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of ; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of th. The hub of a flywheel rotor is responsible for supporting the rims and transferring torque from the electrical machine to the rest of the rotor. Rotor hubs are commonly constructed from either high-strength steel, aluminum, or fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. [pdf]
Located in the Barrio Logan neighborhood, the Peregrine Energy Storage Project brings a powerful 200 megawatt (MW)/400 megawatt-hour (MWh) system online. It holds enough energy to supply 200,000 homes with power for two hours during peak demand. [pdf]
The new Belize Energy Resilience and Sustainability Project will deploy state-of-the-art battery energy storage systems across four strategic locations in the country, marking a significant step forward in modernizing Belize's energy infrastructure and reducing its dependency on electricity imports. [pdf]
Georgia Power has issued a follow-up solicitation, the CARES 2025 RFP, seeking up to 2,000 MW of additional solar or solar-plus-storage resources. Those projects could begin operation as early as 2028. [pdf]
