Onshore wind energy in Canada has a history that dates back several decades. But the near future looks even more prosperous: The Canadian Wind Energy Association has set the ambition for 55 GW of wind energy by 2025, with wind energy meeting 20% of Canada’s electricity needs. Meanwhile, Canada’s Premier Tim Houston announced in autumn […]
The state ranks seventh in the United States when it comes to wind power, with 3.5 percent of wind in the US being generated in California. A majority of that percentage is onshore wind. For now, the majority of wind turbines are located onshore in the south east of California because it offers the best […]
There is a reason why installed offshore wind is not as present in California yet as in states along the East Coast: The West Coast ocean floor is much deeper than on the East Coast. This means that offshore wind farms in California have a need for anchored floating platforms which makes development more complicated. […]
According to Dutch grid operator TenneT, The Netherlands will require 10GW of battery storage projects by 2030 and has seen an increase in the number of projects being realized in the last 12 months thanks to projects overseen by GIGA and Lion Storage. This article will introduce three key projects which will be essential to […]

By the end of Q1 in 2023, the US had a total installed wind capacity of 145.57GW, with a total potential wind capacity of 10,640.08GW. In this article, we present the three largest operational onshore wind projects in the US, as of July 2023. 1) 1.55GW Alta Wind Energy Center in California The Alta Wind […]
Germany’s battery storage sector is about to experience significant growth in the coming years as outlined in a previous article. In 2022, a reported 434MW of battery storage projects were connected to the grid which was a record for the Germans. In this article, we will introduce three landmark battery storage projects that have been […]
As outlined in a previous research piece, UK’s energy storage capacity has undergone significant growth in recent years. 800MW was connected to the grid in 2022 alone bringing the nation’s capacity to 2.4GW, with a future project pipeline of 34.5GW. In this article, we will introduce three landmark storage projects that have been developed in […]
The Spanish government is targeting the battery storage sector in order to tackle climate change and the current energy crisis. In June 2023, the government announced plans to launch a €160m fund to support 600MW of storage projects which are expected to become online in 2026. The grants issued should cover 40-65% of the project […]
2022 represented one of the strongest years for battery storage growth recorded in the country, according to Energy Storage news almost 900MW of storage projects will come online by the end of next year. Some of the growth includes expansion to the country’s largest storage project at Dunkirk, where TotalEnergies now has an installed capacity […]
