As solar and offshore wind projects stall, New Jersey just awarded its biggest incentives to battery storage projects to help reach its climate goals and stabilize electricity prices for consumers.

The Munich startup’s demo plant at Chemical Park Gendorf in Bavaria processes 1,500 tonnes of battery waste a year and produces 100 tonnes of high-purity lithium carbonate, at costs the company says are twice as competitive as conventional miners. A full-scale facility capable of 45,000 tonnes per year is planned for 2030. Europe has a battery problem it can’t see. Parked in driveways, stacked in garages, decomposing in junkyards across the continent are tens of thousands of end-of-life elec...

Iron Mountain is installing a 23 megawatt-hour energy storage system at its New Jersey data center to reduce its reliance on the local electric grid and cut greenhouse gas emissions generated by the site. The system, scheduled to be switched on before the end of 2026, uses standard lithium-ion batteries from Tesla. It will be integrated with an existing 7.2-megawatt rooftop solar array installed about six years ago, but Iron Mountain expects to manage the installations separately. The primary ju...
