#America's First #SodiumIon #Battery Plant Comes to #Sacramento
#PeakEnergy has selected Sacramento, as home of America’s first manufacturing facility dedicated to #gridscale #sodiumionbattery systems. The 183,000sqft plant, representing a $71M investment, will produce up to 4GwH of storage annually when production begins in early 2027. Enough output each year to serve nearly four million homes, and it signals that sodium-ion tech has moved from lab to commercial reality.

#Redwood is repurposing #GM's #EV #batteries into energy storage
“Market for #gridscale batteries and backup power isn’t just expanding, it’s becoming essential infrastructure,” said Kurt Kelty, GM VP of batteries, propulsion, and #sustainability. “#Electricity demand is climbing, and it’s only going to accelerate… GM batteries can play an integral role.” Redwood uses second-life batteries from GM EVs and new GM battery modules to create #US-built energy storage systems

#Underwater #turbine spinning for 6 years off #Scotland’s coast is a breakthrough for #tidal energy
Keeping #gridscale turbine in place in harsh #sea environment that long is a record that helps pave the way for bigger #tidalenergy farms and makes it far more appealing to investors, according to trade association #Ocean Energy #Europe. Tidal energy projects would be prohibitively expensive if turbines had to be taken out of the water for maintenance every couple of years.

Another potential use for sodium ion battery tech is in grid-scale storage systems, like those mentioned here;

(#HatTip to @norightturnnz for the link)

I have no idea what chemicals are currently used when building such systems. But if they're lithium ion they'll be stupidly expensive to build, and if they're lead acid - which seems more likely - they'll need replacing much sooner.
