Net zero on the Horizon: piloting innovative LDES solutions
Utility Magazine
LDES (Long-duration energy storage) will play a critical role in supporting Western Australia’s journey to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The state’s regional energy provider, Horizon Power, is embracing the latest technology, with innovative LDES trials to support the state’s acceleration to a cleaner, greener future.
‘The latest announcement follows Horizon Power’s purchase in August 2023 of a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery for a long-duration energy storage pilot in Kununurra, in Western Australia’s Kimberley region.
The 78kW/220kWh battery, from Invinity, represents a milestone in Horizon Power’s quest to test, understand and harness the capabilities of providing long periods of 100 per cent renewable energy in Western Australia.’
