Northland Power says its Jurassic battery in Alberta has hit commercial operations: 80 MW / 160 MWh, Alberta's largest operating battery store, delivered ahead of schedule and under budget. A 15-year offtake covers 100% of capacity. The offtaker and the cents are not in the release.
EUPD Research tells pv magazine that China cutting then ending its battery export rebate could push more systems into Europe before January 2027. Residential and commercial shelves look most exposed. Utility-scale prices are expected to stay steadier because those boxes ship against firm orders.
DENSO says its Athens Tennessee factory has been running a new onsite solar yard since May. More than 10,000 modules, 5.25 MWac nameplate, enough to offset about 14% of the plant's yearly power use. The release does not name a battery. Daytime solar without storage only covers a slice of what the plant uses while the sun is up.
Energy Vault's Stoney Creek battery near Narrabri has NSW planning approval: 125 MW / 1,000 MWh, eight hours of storage, Enervest to deliver, a 14-year LTESA through AEMO Services. Site works aimed at Q4 2026, commercial ops H1 2028. Hours matter here — this is a long grid box with a state contract, not a four-hour warehouse quote.
