Global decarbonisation targets are impossible without increasing the pace of long-duration energy storage (LDES) adoption 50 times over by 2040, according to the LDES Council.
Penny Sharpe, the New South Wales energy minister, has announced plans to legislate a new long-duration energy storage (LDES) target for the Australian state of 28GWh by 2034.
Some long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies are already cost-competitive with lithium-ion (Li-ion) but will struggle to match the incumbent’s cost reduction potential.
