Name of Tendering Service: Construction and installation work of Heat storage and Exchange Island and [...]
El gobierno de España está lanzando 280 millones de euros (310 millones de dólares estadounidenses) en subvenciones para proyectos independientes de almacenamiento de energía, almacenamiento de energía térmica e hidroeléctrica de bombeo reversible que estarán en línea en 2026. El Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (MITECO) abrió una consulta pública sobre [...]
The government of Spain is launching €280 million (US$310 million) in grants for standalone energy storage projects, thermal energy storage and reversible pumped hydro to go online in 2026. The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) opened a public consultation into the grant scheme last month seeking comments on the proposal [...]
A bright future is on the horizon for the global expansion of concentrated solar power (CSP) and thermal energy storage (TES) technologies. As the world increasingly recognizes the need for clean, renewable energy sources to combat climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, CSP and TES are emerging as key players in the transition [...]
Storenergy has developed a thermal energy storage (TES) solution that uses recycled ceramics as the storage medium. It says its solid-state storage solution is designed to ensure long lifespans and low maintenance costs. Storenergy’s pilot project is a 3 MWh TES system deployed at the CIEMAT institute in Spain.

Concentrated solar power (CSP) and thermal energy storage (TES) are two critical components of the renewable energy landscape that have the potential to revolutionize the way we generate and store clean energy. As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, understanding these technologies and their potential applications is essential for both policymakers and industry [...]
Concentrated solar power (CSP) with thermal energy storage is an innovative and promising technology that has the potential to revolutionize the renewable energy sector. This technology harnesses the sun’s energy by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a small area, where it is converted into heat. This heat is then stored in a [...]
As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of climate change and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the search for sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions has become a top priority. One promising technology that has garnered significant attention in recent years is thermal energy storage (TES). This innovative approach to [...]
