Investigating the potential for energy storage in the UK. The project was conceived in early 2016, when Harmony Energy made a leap of faith into the energy storage sector. As a company, we had a strong belief that the energy storage market in the UK was fundamental to the country''s ambitions to decarbonise. The UK''s target at the time was a

Denmark has been relatively quiet for grid-scale energy storage projects, though an 18MWh thermal energy storage project did start commissioning late last year. Virtual power plant (VPP) companies including Nuvve and Flower are active in the country''s ancillary service market primarily through managing EV networks.

Liquid air energy storage firm Highview Power has raised £300 million (US$384 million) from the UK Infrastructure Bank (UKIB) and utility Centrica to immediately start building its first large-scale project.
The operation is part of an eight-minigrid project that will provide reliable electricity for the first time to more than 30,000 people, 13 health clinics, 25 schools, and over 100 small businesses. Construction on those sites is underway, and Orosz is currently working on a power transmission and road crossing over the Senqu river
Also currently under construction in Chile is Latin America''s largest lithium-ion battery energy storage project so far at 112MW / 560MWh by AES Corporation. Highview Power meanwhile is targeting the global need for long-duration bulk energy storage that it believes is coming down the line and is already here in some places.

There are other companies building minigrids in Africa, but OnePower is the only one to have accomplished the feat in Lesotho, and it’s not hard to understand why. Known as the kingdom in the sky, Lesotho is a small, developing country crossed by mountain ranges and rivers, making it difficult to get electricity to rural regions.
In 2019, REPP extended a LSL 7m loan to 1PWR to finance Lesotho’s first solar-battery mini-grid at the village of Ha Makebe. This project became operational in 2021 and now services 215 households and businesses in the community.
The move coincided with OnePower’s successful bid to develop the first utility-scale solar project in Lesotho, a 20-megawatt project that will sell electricity to Lesotho’s central grid in addition to OnePower’s minigrid work. OnePower expects that project, named Neo 1, to start delivering power to Lesotho’s central electric grid next year.
