Green Deal Industrial Plan has been welcomed by the European Association for Storage of Energy, although mentions of energy storage included in a leaked draft seen by the industry group were absent from the final publication.
Some proposed battery storage projects have been cancelled in the US and Canada since the start of this year, after facing opposition from local communities.
Australia and New York are two very different places but both are likely to soon see their first government-backed tenders in which grid-scale energy storage can compete.
