ENERGY STORAGE PROJECT FIELD

First 720MWh energy storage project in St John s

Today, representatives from Neqotkuk (also known as Tobique First Nation), Saint John Energy, and Natural Forces joined together for the inauguration of a large battery energy storage system, which is part of the Burchill Wind Project in Saint John, New Brunswick.Originally announced in the spring of 2022, the Burchill Wind Project partnership is a $95 million Indigenous-led project, which received nearly $50 million in funding from Canada’s Smart Renewables and Electrification Pathways Program to help deploy the project’s 10 wind turbine generators.

New energy storage is listed as the main body of the field

Pumped storage is still the main body of energy storage, but the proportion of about 90% from 2020 to 59.4% by the end of 2023; the cumulative installed capacity of new type of energy storage, which refers to other types of energy storage in addition to pumped storage, is 34.5 GW/74.5 GWh (lithium‐ion batteries accounted for more than 94%), and the new incremental growth in 2023 is 260% year‐on‐year; the price of lithium‐ion batteries has dropped significantly.10–12 However, according to the data from China Electricity Council (CEC),the average annual utilisation hours of new energy storage in 2023 is 615 h, and the utilisation level is generally not high.10 Therefore, it is necessary to sort out the demands and challenges of energy storage technology to provide reference for the development of the energy storage industry.
