The Government of Liberia has signed a landmark contract for the construction of a 4.0 megawatt-peak (MWp) Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Plant coupled with a 9.4 megawatt-hour (MWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), signaling a major step toward universal energy access in the country.
[pdf] The Government of Liberia has tendered the services of consultants to develop and implement the country's first solar and battery storage auction. The utility-scale project will feature 70 MWp of solar PV plants and 20 MW/60 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Buchanan and Yekepa.
[pdf] Salt River Project (SRP) and Google this week announced what the companies are calling a “first-of-its-kind” research collaboration to better understand the real-world performance of emerging non-lithium-ion long duration energy storage (LDES) technologies, hoping to accelerate the advancements needed to deploy LDES at scale.
