The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) just dropped a seriously exciting announcement that’s set to shake up the world of clean energy. It’s all about boosting the development of long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies, thanks to President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
So, why are these demonstration projects such a big deal? Well, they’re here to make a real difference in our communities. These projects aim to give communities more control over their local power systems, protect us from grid disruptions, and provide reliable and affordable energy systems. It’s all about building a more resilient and sustainable future right here in the United States.
Our current energy storage tech isn’t quite up to the task when it comes to size and cost. According to the DOE’s Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: LDES report, we need storage solutions that are cheaper, last longer, and are more efficient to handle the ups and downs of energy demand. Imagine storing extra solar power from the day for use at night or tapping into stored nuclear energy when demand goes up.
The United States is leading the way with innovation and change, and Suntuity is here for it. Stay tuned for more updates on how these projects shape up and contribute to a cleaner and greener future for all of us.
