That's Laos for you – quietly transforming from a hydropower giant to a pioneer in the Laos energy storage industry. With 80% of its electricity already coming from renewables (mostly hydropower), Laos is now betting big on energy storage solutions to juice up its regional influence. [pdf]
Bolivia’s ambitious plan to triple its renewable energy capacity by 2026—adding 902 MW of wind and solar—sounds like a green energy dream come true. But here’s the kicker: intermittent renewables need a reliable sidekick. Enter pumped hydropower storage (PSH), the "Swiss Army knife" of energy grids. [pdf]
French businesses are making significant investments in R&D, investigating different battery materials, and investigating decentralized energy storage systems that can decentralize energy management. [pdf]

Bahrain's first grid-scale flywheel storage system will launch in 2025 – it can respond to grid fluctuations in under 2 milliseconds! Bahrain's energy storage power station policy is reshaping the nation's approach to sustainable power. [pdf]
Saft will engineer the 100 MW/200 MWh Huntly BESS as a complete turnkey solution based on 70 of its Intensium Shift+ lithium-ion battery containers combined with power conversion and control systems. It is planned to come online in the third quarter of 2026. [pdf]
First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass.OverviewFlywheel 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 r. .
A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by connected to a . The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a to reduce fricti. .
Compared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no maintenance; full-cycle lifetimes quoted for flywheels range from in excess of 10 , up to 10 , cycles. [pdf]
The lineup of new products released to the North American market includes the second-generation modular inverter for utility-scale PV projects; the next-generation PowerTitan 3.0, an AC Block BESS for large-scale energy storage applications; and the PowerStack 255CS BESS for commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage.
