He added that Penang Port is exploring the possibility of setting up solar panels on stilts on shallow water pockets in its premises, “like a solar farm”. On the other hand, he said the global cruise business is expected to “go fully shore-power” by 2030.
The Penang government is assessing several strategic locations, including dams and coastal water bodies, to implement floating solar projects as part of efforts to strengthen its Renewable Energy (RE) sources. — NSTP/GHAZALI KORI Get breaking news fast — follow us on WhatsApp and Telegram.
He said that land-based solar farms were not ideal for Penang due to the scarcity and high value of available land. Therefore, he said, installing solar panels on water surfaces was seen as a more practical alternative. "Floating solar is a real possibility for Penang because we are surrounded by water.
The Star has learnt that this entails creating a solar farm that floats on a sheltered quarter of Penang’s harbour stretching over 4ha, the size of three World Cup football fields. On a sunny day, it is expected to churn out 30 megawatts of electricity, which theoretically will be enough for 6,000 homes.
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced awards for 22 large-scale solar and energy storage projects in New York. These projects will deliver enough clean, affordable energy to power over 620,000 New York homes for at least 20 years.
Enel X referred to a recent survey of energy storage systems report that found they typically cost US$1 million per megawatt to build. “We are purchasing it, we’re building it together with subcontractors, and we’ll own and operate the system on the behalf, collectively, of Imperial and ourselves,” Martin said.
Location and the economics of siting a battery The Hudson Valley (Zone G) contains the most proposed battery energy storage capacity in New York’s queue. Its Net Cost of New Entry (Net CONE) is lower than New York City’s and roughly in line with the state average, offering developers moderate entry costs.
More than 19 GW of battery energy storage projects are advancing through NYISO’s reformed interconnection process, the first major test of its new cluster study. The shift to parallel advancement has concentrated competition and made project readiness a defining factor. Key takeaways
According to Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, the nation has set a goal of deploying 48GWh of battery energy storage systems by 2030. This ambitious target not only supports Saudi Arabia's energy transition but also injects fresh momentum into the global renewable energy and energy storage markets.
Saudi Arabia aims to generate 50% of its electricity from renewables by 2030. However, renewable energy sources like solar and wind can be unpredictable. The 12.5 GWh battery storage project will solve this issue by storing energy and ensuring a steady power supply. This is very important in Saudi Arabia.

South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy will host a competitive solicitation for battery storage capacity in two locations. A 2GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project has gone into operation in Saudi Arabia, according to the EPC firm which delivered it.
The flagship battery storage project commenced operations on February 1, only days before cutting ties with the Russian power grid. Estonian state-owned energy company Eesti Energia has inaugurated the nation’s largest battery energy storage facility at the Auvere industrial complex in Ida-Viru County.
The battery energy storage park and its substation will be connected to the electricity transmission network using a 330kV AC underground cable, marking a first in Estonia. Baltic Storage Platform confirmed that the BESS will seek to ensure the stability and resilience of the Estonian electricity grid.
Energy storage is also vital for meeting Estonia’s goal of sourcing all its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The country’s climate minister, Yoko Alender, emphasised the role of storage systems in this transition, saying they would help ensure a “clean, reliable and affordable energy future” for Estonia.
Estonia’s investment in large-scale battery parks highlights its strategic push for both energy independence and a more sustainable power grid. However, battery parks do have environmental impacts.
The New Energies Service Station is located on a part of the vacant land surrounding the Geelong Refinery, proximate to the Princes Highway, which is owned by Viva Energy. The site is within an existing industrial zone with access to electrical infrastructure and recycled water from the nearby Barwon Water Northern Water Plant.
This marks the completion and operation of the largest grid-forming energy storage station in China. The photo shows the energy storage station supporting the Ningdong Composite Photovoltaic Base Project. This energy storage station is one of the first batch of projects supporting the 100 GW large-scale wind and photovoltaic bases nationwide.
With advantages like fast responding, flexible deployment and a short construction period, the new-type energy storage station can accurately match the grid to different load requirements and help connect unstable clean energy to the power grid.
Tesla has officially signed a ¥4 billion (C$764/US$557 million) deal to build its first grid-scale battery energy storage station in China, leveraging its Megapack technology.
