HOME / Basseterre Energy Storage Project Subsidy - EXIT-LYON Energy
Norway has launched a major industrial project aimed at capturing, maritime transport, and geological storage of CO₂, mobilizing key energy players and significant public subsidies to ensure economic viability.
Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies form the transport and storage consortium of Northern Lights. They plan to develop an open access infrastructure for CO 2 transport and storage. Hafslund Celsio plans to capture CO 2 from their waste-to-energy plant in Oslo. CCS Norway is developed by Gassnova, the Norwegian state enterprise for CCS.
The full-scale project includes capture of CO 2 from industrial sources and shipping of liquid CO 2 to an onshore terminal on the Norwegian west coast. From there, the liquified CO 2 will be transported by pipeline to an offshore storage location subsea in the North Sea, for permanent storage.
The total estimated cost of the project, including ten years of operation, is around NOK 34 billion. The investment is backed by the Norwegian Parliament and aims to develop CO₂ management as a cost-effective climate measure. 'This is an investment in future jobs, technology, and industry.
Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies are investing in the Northern Lights project — Norway's first licence for CO₂ storage on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and a major part of the initiative that the Norwegian government calls Longship. Carbon capture and storage will play a major role in the Norwegian climate solution.
The investment is backed by the Norwegian Parliament and aims to develop CO₂ management as a cost-effective climate measure. 'This is an investment in future jobs, technology, and industry. Longship will demonstrate that CO₂ management is safe, feasible, and necessary to meet climate goals in Norway and the EU', said Aasland.
Terje Aasland, Norway's Minister of Energy, commented: “With Longship, Europe's first full-scale value chain for CO2 management will be in operation in 2025. It is inspiring to now see the results from Norway's long-term commitment to CO2 management.
Starting November 2024, NSW's PDRS offers substantial support for battery installations to manage peak energy demand: Rebate Amount: $1,600–$2,400 based on battery size.
The subsidy potentially saves households thousands on installation costs, making the return on investment period substantially shorter. For Australian households, the recommended battery capacity range falls between 5-15 kWh, depending on household size, energy consumption patterns, and existing solar system capacity.
Currently, no battery subsidy is available in Queensland. Peak Demand Reduction Scheme – Starting November 1, 2024, a NSW battery subsidy offers between $1,600 and $2,400 towards installation costs. Additionally, you can earn $250 to $450 for joining a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), with another payment available after three years.
Here's what's available in Western Australia: National Government Rebate – This subsidy applies to all system sizes. For a 6.6kW system in 2025, it provides around $2,052 off. Advertised prices for solar systems already include this discount. Feed-in tariff – You'll earn payments for any surplus energy your system generates and exports to the grid.
NSW solar rebates make it easier than ever to adopt solar and battery storage solutions, helping residents reduce energy bills and lower their carbon footprint. This guide covers everything you need to know about current NSW solar incentives, rebates, and solar battery storage programs available in 2025. In this guide, you'll discover:
Home battery subsidies will contribute to domestic demand for these minerals, potentially accelerating investment in local processing and manufacturing. This could help Australia capture more value from its natural resources rather than simply exporting raw materials.
A rebate or subsidy will cover part or all of the upfront cost of buying solar or a battery. Rebate schemes operated by states, territories and local governments sometimes only apply to particular groups of people or types of housing, such as social housing, rental properties or apartments. Eligibility criteria may relate to:
While China's renewable energy sector presents vast potential, the blistering pace of plant installation is not matched with their usage capacity, leading more and more clean energy to be wasted. Some provinces in the northwest region with rich wind and solar resources generally have an. In the long run, energy storage will play an increasingly important role in China's renewable sector. The 14th FYP for Energy Storage advocates for new technology. In a joint statement posted in May, the NDRC and the NEA established their intentions to realize full the market-oriented development of new (non-hydro) energy. A critical part of the comprehensive power market reform, energy storage is an important tool to ensure the safe supply of energy and achieve green and low-carbon.

Independent power producers (IPPs) Mulilo and Scatec have been named as preferred bidders to develop 616 MW/2 464 MWh of new battery storage capacity at a cost of R9. 5-billion across five substation sites in the Free State province.
As South Africa continues to grapple with frequent blackouts and load shedding, these BESS projects will help mitigate risks and contribute to the country's energy security. The Gainfar Project will be connected to the Ngwedi substation, while the Boitekong Project will be connected to the Marang substation.
The 123 MW Retreat BESS project at the Merapi substation, with an evaluation price of R2 477.86/MWh. Meanwhile, Scatec, of Norway, which has a large South African presence, prevailed with its 123 MW Haru BESS project at the Leander substation, with a R2 037.10/MWh evaluation price.
A total of five projects were awarded under South Africa's Battery Energy Storage Procurement Program by the country's Department of Mineral Resources and Energy in March 2023. The projects make up a 513 MW tender and are poised to provide capacity, energy, and ancillary services throughout South Africa.
A consortium consisting of renewable energy developer, Mulilo, and independent power producer, EDF Renewables, has been selected as the preferred bidders for three battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in South Africa.
The company is the developer of the project that is now owned by independent power producer Globeleq. The scheme, the total cost of which amounts to ZAR 6.43 billion (USD 343.8m/EUR 317.6m), envisages the installation of 153 MW/612 MWh of storage capacity through the Red Sands BESS project at the Garona substation.

The project is located in Esik City, Almaty Region, and plans to build a 1GW photovoltaic power station, supporting energy storage systems, booster stations, and transmission lines, aiming to create an efficient, stable and sustainable green energy supply system, and inject.
Ottawa BESS 2 is a proposed up to 75 Mega-Watt (“MW”) lithium-ion battery storage Project located at 2393 8th Line Road, Ottawa, ON, K0A 2P0, under development by Ottawa BESS 2 Limited Partnership.
In 2025, the City of Ottawa established official plan and zoning provisions for battery energy storage uses in accordance with new Official Plan policy. BESS is an emerging technology using batteries and associated equipment to store excess energy from the electrical grid, which can then discharge energy in periods of high demand.
Trail Road Battery Energy Storage Systems is a 150 MW battery storage project with 600 MWh of energy storage, located in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. Evolugen has partnered with AOPFN to develop, own and operate both the Fitzroy and Trail Road BESS projects.
Although energy storage comes in different shapes and sizes, the lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) is the fastest emerging technology in North America and is planned to be deployed in the City of Ottawa with the Ottawa BESS 2 Project.
BESSes are already approved or under construction in Jarvis, Napanee and Spencerville. In Ottawa, a 150-megawatt battery-storage project for Trail Road has received municipal approval, but a 250-megawatt project by Evolugen for Fitzroy Harbour is facing pushback from some community members. Why Battery Energy Storage Systems?
Battery storage systems play a crucial role in Ontario's electricity system by offering flexibility and resilience. They help balance supply and demand, particularly during peak hours, by storing excess energy when demand is low and releasing it when needed.
City approval is being sought for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) near Dunrobin. A map posted on the website of Evolugen shows the location of the proposed South March Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at 2555 and 2625 Marchurst Rd. near Dubrobin. Photo by EVOLUGEN / HANDOUT
