We completed exploratory works on @sserenewables' Coire Glas pumped storage hydro scheme. The £100m programme involved the construction of a 1.2km tunnel into the hillside on the banks of Loch Lochy. ⛰️ Over 90,000 tonnes of rock and earth were excavated as part of the exploratory works! Important geological... data was gathered from the rocks to inform the main design. Pumped hydro storage is critical to the UK Government's #CleanPowerMission. Coire Glas would be the first major pumped storage hydro scheme built in 40 years! With up to 30GWh of storage capacity, it could power three million homes for up to 24 hours. And it would nearly double Great Britain's total current electricity storage capacity. 🤯 Department for Energy Security and Net Zero confirmed earlier this year a cap and floor investment framework would be introduced to enable the deployment of long-duration electricity storage projects. We are looking forward to seeing how the first projects will be developed under the scheme. Find out more about Britain's largest natural battery ⬇️show more

@sserenewables Hydro currently supplying 0.8Gw. Pump storage like this is only for load balancing and emergency use, so dont try to sell it as an energy source.

Worlds largest battery - beatiful pumped storage. Last week I visited Anji in central China. Its home to Changlongshan pumped storage plant. Deep inside the mountains water is pumped 400 meters by solar and wind power from a lower to an upper reservoir. When the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing or there is peak energy demand, energy from the hydro turbines is released into the grid. The plant is huge, but fit well into the terrain showing we can build big and respect nature all the same. It creates a seemless system of solar, wind and hydro 24 hours a day. This is the future of green energy!

Batteries will never store enough energy to backup renewables. In Estimates I tried to get a straight answer on just how long the life of a battery is. Needless to say I couldn’t get one. They can currently (in optimal conditions) provide a small amount of energy for 2 to 4 hours. This of course isn’t long enough if the entire grid is to be powered by renewables. Longer term storage has to be provided by pumped hydro which requires the construction of enormous pumping stations powered by wind and solar. As shown by the Snowy Pumped Hydro, pumped hydro is not only ludicrously expensive, it is incredibly destructive to the environment. When pressed on just how much battery technology has improved, Matt Kean couldn’t give a straight answer. The fact is the cost of building enough batteries to back up the energy grid run by renewables is prohibitive and will never work. #auspol

NEWS: BYD has launched its next-generation battery energy storage system. It has a unit capacity of 14.5 MWh, the highest globally to date. The energy storage system achieves an ultra-large capacity of 10 MWh within a space equivalent to a 20-foot container, BYD said. For a 1 GWh storage plant, it will cut the number of required units by more than half, reduce land use by one-third, and trim cell count by 76%, according to the manufacturer. It uses BYD’s self-developed 2,710 Ah Blade Battery cell, which the company claims is the largest energy storage cell in the world. "This next-generation cell delivers three times the capacity of conventional storage batteries, boasts a cycle life of over 10,000 cycles, and reduces the total lifecycle cost per kilowatt-hour to below $0.014 – a milestone that could reshape the economics of large-scale storage." BYD says it can cut project-level levelized costs (LCOS) by 21.7%. For a typical 1 GWh installation, total costs related to equipment procurement, transportation, and installation are expected to drop by around 30%. In addition, BYD has launched its new GC Flux grid-forming inverter solution, which covers the 2.5–10 MW capacity range. According to BYD, the inverter boasts a performance level approximately 38% higher than common industry standards and a maximum power density of 1,474 kW/㎡, which is around 130% above typical values in today’s market. The system provides an overload capacity of up to 3x for 10 seconds and reaches a peak efficiency of 99.35%.

Germany currently has about 26 gigawatt hours of battery storage. Most of it sits in home batteries with only 4.3 gigawatt hours actually serving the grid. Building that storage already cost more than 10 billion euros and at national demand levels it only covers roughly 30 minutes of summer electricity usage. The winter months bring what's known as "Dunkeflaute" - cold dark windless periods and higher energy usage. To survive a 10-day winter lull (the minimum realistic requirement), Germany would need about 12,000 gigawatt hours of batteries, 470 times today's storage. Such a system would weigh roughly 60 million tons and would be made from vast quantities of lithium, nickel, graphite, copper, aluminum and steel, all requiring intensive mining. At current battery prices, the system would cost trillions of euros. And batteries last only 10 to 15 years, meaning the entire system would need constant replacement. The conclusion is unavoidable... Wind and solar require reliable backup power, renewables need oil, coal, gas and nuclear.

Does the world have enough lithium to power all the electric vehicles and stationary batteries needed to transition the world to 100% clean, renewable energy and storage for everything? The answer is yes. In 2025, the USGS increased its estimate of world lithium resources over land by 30%, to 150 million tons, with the U.S. having the largest resource, 30 million tons, followed by Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Australia, and China. How much lithium is this? The world has 1.1 billion passenger cars and 375 million trucks and buses. Replacing these requires about 47 million tons of lithium -- 9 million tons for the cars and 38 million tons for the trucks and buses. That’s only 31 percent of the 2025 known lithium resources, and keep in mind, the known resources grow each year as people look for more lithium. What is more, lithium stays in a vehicle during a battery’s 15 to 25-year life. At the end of the battery’s life, the battery is recycled or re-used for stationary electricity storage, so the mining is one-time. For stationary electricity storage itself, less than one-tenth the lithium, 2 to 4 million tons, is needed worldwide than is needed for vehicles. As such, current lithium resources are over three times those needed for vehicles plus storage. Also, many other battery types now exist that don’t use lithium. In sum, there is no shortage of lithium to transition the world to 100% clean, renewable energy and storage for everything. More info Video:

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith: “I want to talk about batteries for a minute, because I know that everybody thinks that this economy is going to be operated on wind and solar and battery power — and it cannot. There is no industrialized economy in the world operating that way, because they need baseload. And, I’ll tell you what I know about batteries, because I talked to somebody thinking of investing in it on a 200 megawatt plant. One million dollars to be able to get each megawatt stored: that’s 200 million dollars for his plant alone, and he would get 1 hour of storage. So if you want me to have 12 thousand megawatts of storage, that’s 12 billion dollars for 1 hour of storage, 24 billion dollars for 2 hours of storage, 36 billion dollars for 3 hours of storage, and there are long stretches in winter, where we can go weeks without wind or solar. That is the reason why we need legitimate, real solutions that rely on baseload power rather than fantasy thinking.” Nicely said Premier Smith. 💪😎

This year, renewables and storage covered 100% of Texas’ demand growth. Through July, ERCOT consumption rose ~17 terawatt-hours compared to last year. And nearly all of that incremental demand was met by clean generation. Through July of this year: ⚡ Solar is up ~47% year, adding 12 TWh ⚡ Wind added 3 TWh ⚡ Storage tripled to 3 TWh Gas still provides a large share of ERCOT’s power and remains an important part of the grid. But the growth in demand this year, the extra electricity Texans are using, has been supplied almost entirely by renewables and storage. That extra supply matters for affordability. Prices are rising due to higher fuel and transmission & distribution costs, but renewables and storage are holding them down compared to where they would be otherwise. This analysis comes from my special quarterly presentation, a deep dive into the latest trends in Texas energy and power. The takeaway: Texas’ growth story is increasingly being powered by renewables and storage. That strengthens reliability today and builds a stronger foundation for the future. 🎧 Full breakdown: #TexasEnergy #ERCOT #GridReliability #Renewables #EnergyTransition

The only battery type capable of storing a single day of US electricity is sodium-sulphur. A single day of storage would require 450 million tonnes of batteries, covering 923 square miles of land. To cope with seasonal shortages of four weeks (at least), you'd need 28 units that size. That adds up to 12.6 billion tonnes of batteries, spread across 16.5 million acres of land. Then there's the mining. Sodium-sulfur batteries demand enormous amounts of sodium, sulfur, steel, and ceramics. Billions of tons of ore would need to be dug up and processed. The environmental toll would be staggering. Massive mineral extraction, toxic waste, and scarred landscapes - all for batteries that need to be scrapped and replaced every 15 years when they wear out. So-called 'green storage' at this scale is indistinguishable from an environmental catastrophe.

If $MU says NAND pricing is still strong, enterprise SSD demand is picking up and AI inference is creating more storage demand then $SNDK should benefit because SanDisk is one of the more direct ways to own that part of the cycle. Hyperscalers are still figuring out the right mix of DRAM, HBM, TLC NAND, QLC NAND and other storage architectures which can keep supply tighter for longer as memory companies are going to be hesitant to add too much capacity before demand becomes clearer. I'm going to be listening closely for Micron’s QLC commentary because QLC NAND for read-heavy inference workloads is the big driver and if Micron calls that out then it would show that the storage side of the AI memory story is still earlier than DRAM.

Virginia is a leader in energy policy. We passed a first-of-its-kind energy consumption tax on data centers. And now, we're going to be the first state to run a group buying program for home solar and battery storage. We're taking real action to address high energy costs for Virginians and working to meet rising energy demand across the Commonwealth.

It’s always spin over substance! 1. The Head of the CSIRO is clueless. He clearly only answers questions that suit his narrative and takes everything else on notice. Whatever happened to accountability in answering questions. 2. Why bother turning up to estimates if you aren’t going to bring your subject matter experts - especially in regard to their GenCost report which is used by useful idiots like Chris Bowen to justify their lies. 3. The CSIRO is misleading the Australian public by overstating the capacity of Windfarms. They have a capacity of 30% not 50%. This understates their costs by 40%. 4. Assuming Nuclear and Coal have an average capacity of 60% is misleading. If allowed to run 24 hours a day without being turned down for solar in the middle of the day their capacity can be 90%. 5. By overstating wind and understating coal/nuclear capacity the way they have, coal/nuclear is costed at being 20% more efficient than wind. I.e. 60% over 50% instead of 300% more efficient. I.e. 90% over 30%. 6. The net result of this is that efficiency of baseload power is understated by 15 times in relation to Wind power. 7. Storage costs are completely ignored in costings, especially in regard to locating and building pumped hydro. The CSIRO have no idea where the pumped hydro is going to go. The Net Zero fantasy is going to destroy this country. #auspol

Most $SUI holders know one thing about the token: total supply is capped at 10 billion. They have never read the mechanic that makes that cap matter. It is called the Storage Fund. And it is the most important thing in the $SUI tokenomics docs that nobody is talking about. Here is exactly how it works: Every time a transaction adds data to the Sui blockchain, the user pays a storage fee. That fee does not go to validators directly. It goes into the Storage Fund, a pool of SUI that never fully depletes. Here is where it gets interesting. The Storage Fund has its own stake in the network. It earns staking rewards the same way every other stakeholder does. Those rewards are then distributed to validators to compensate them for storing historical data. This solves a problem every other blockchain ignores: When a new validator joins Sui, they have to store all the historical data from transactions that happened before they existed. Why would a new validator pay to store someone else's old data? The Storage Fund pays them for it. Past users who created the storage requirements in the first place funded the pool. Future validators get compensated from that pool indefinitely. The fund pays out only the returns on its capital, never the principal. It cannot be drained. It is designed to survive forever. Now here is the part that directly connects to $SUI token value. The Sui docs state this explicitly: Deflation is a feature of Sui, not a bug. Here is why: Total supply is capped at 10 billion SUI. As network activity increases, more transactions are processed. More transactions mean more storage fees flowing into the Storage Fund. As the Storage Fund grows, it holds more SUI. More SUI held in the fund means less SUI in active circulation. Less circulating supply against the same or growing demand means the value of each SUI token increases. Network growth directly reduces circulating supply. That is not speculation. That is the economic model built into the protocol at the architecture level. One more detail worth knowing: If you delete data you stored on chain, you receive a partial refund of your original storage fees. The system charges for storage, rewards deletion, and compounds the fund's stake indefinitely. Most people holding $SUI today are pricing the speed narrative: The parallel transaction processing. The sub-second finality. The Move language safety. They have not started pricing the storage fund deflation mechanic. That gap between what the tokenomics actually does and what the market currently understands is where the long-term thesis lives. The people who read the docs always buy before the people who read the price.

🔥🔥🔥 «Raid» struck the only gas storage facility in Crimea! On the night of June 19, operators of the 413th USF «Raid» Regiment struck facilities of the Hlibivske underground gas storage facility, located near the village of Dozorne on the Tarkhankut Peninsula in occupied Crimea. The surface structures of the gas storage facility sustained critical damage. A fire broke out on its territory, which is confirmed by data from the NASA FIRMS satellite monitoring service. The target was struck using Ukrainian-made «middle-strike» class drones developed by Fire Point. ❗️Why is the strike on the Hlibivske UGS facility important? Hlibivske UGS is the only gas storage facility in Crimea. Its purpose is to rapidly deliver large volumes of gas during sub-zero temperatures or daily peak consumption periods. The normal operation of the UGS is critically important for the energy system of occupied Crimea, as all its major thermal power plants (including the Balaklava and Tavriiska TPPs) rely on natural gas as their primary fuel. In turn, the reliability of power supply from these TPPs directly impacts the military facilities of the Russian army on the peninsula.
