A total of 311 applications were received for clean energy or decarbonisation projects after the call for submissions opened last summer. Of these, seven were selected to receive direct funding from a €1.1 billion budget and include hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, advanced solar cell manufacturing and other technologies.
Green hydrogen projects emphasising the role the technology could play in the energy storage space have progressed in the Netherlands and India, the latter using battery storage directly paired with an electrolyser unit. while another project using salt caverns for large-scale storage of the gas, in Germany, won EU funding a month earlier.
Salt River Project (SRP) has signed deals for two large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) that bring the Arizona utility to 800MW of energy storage contracted or owned. SRP said yesterday that it has contracted for Sierra Estrella, a 250MW project, and Superstition, a 90MW system with their developer Plus Power.
SRP announced the Sierra project in October 2022 and the four-hour lithium-ion BESS is expected to come online in summer of 2024. It is one of two large-scale projects the utility has contracted for which will help it achieve a doubling of its 400MW BESS capacity target by summer 2024, along with the 90MW/360MWh Superstition project, also from Plus Power.
Camilla Nilsson, Kyoto Group CEO, said: "This installation marks the first application of molten salt energy storage technology in a new market segment, despite its long-standing use in concentrated solar power facilities.

Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean under the sovereignty of Norway, but is subject to the special status granted by the Svalbard Treaty. Jan Mayen is a remote island in the Arctic Ocean; it has no permanent population and is administered by the County Governor of Nordland.
The United Nations Statistics Division also uses this code, but has named it the Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands. Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean under the sovereignty of Norway, but is subject to the special status granted by the Svalbard Treaty.
ISO 3166-2:SJ is the entry for Svalbard and Jan Mayen in ISO 3166-2, a system for assigning codes to subnational administrative divisions. However, further subdivision for Svalbard and Jan Mayen occurs under Norway's entry, ISO 3166-2:NO:
Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic about midway between mainland Norway and the North Pole. The group of islands range from 74° to 81° north latitude, and from 10° to 35° east longitude. The area is 61,022 square kilometres (23,561 sq mi) and there were 2,595 residents in Sept 2024.
The Svalbard Treaty of 1920 recognizes Norwegian sovereignty, and the 1925 Svalbard Act made Svalbard a full part of the Kingdom of Norway.
