The push for renewable energy sources has birthed a new problem: where will we store all that energy? What happens if the sun isn't up, there is no wind, but...

Right… Construction is such a new industry. A lot of cost reduction potential. Plus, concrete is so clean 🤣

They have tried at least for the last 7 years. The price of batteries has plummeted since:

Let me know, when they go in production 😃

Concrete is certainly a lot more clean than lithium mining. Meanwhile, construction of specific things is obviously something that you learn to do better over time. For example, here’s how cost of nuclear reactor construction has dropped in China as they learned from building them. Absolutely incredible that the concept of getting better at doing things through practice escapes you.

Meanwhile they are already in production, hilarious how you didn’t even bother checking a link past 2018 before spewing more drivel. 🤣

Following the start of grid interconnection in September 2023, the 25MW/100MWh EVx GESS in Rudong achieved full interconnection after the completion of the final 4km 35kV overhead power line to a remote end substation, as planned with local state grid authorities.

That’s a pilot project…

And the construction industry is already very established… Very little cost reduction potential.

But you’ll see 😃

PS: comparing such a technology to a nuclear plant shows how little you understand that technology and business.

Aww muffing, you keep on coping there. Meanwhile, I didn’t compare anything, I gave an example of how building a particular thing over and over brings the costs and time of construction down. The fact that you still can’t comprehend that how little goes on in that head of yours.

Riiiiiight…

If it is so promising, why haven’t they started more projects since 2023? 😃

I’m in the energy business and work with Chinese partenaires. This project was an investigation. The construction industry has been in overdrive for the last 30y.

When it Will slow down, all these machines, people, etc will need something to do. This was the whole purpose.

Since you start insulting me, I won’t exchange further 😘

I love how you just lie about everything, but we should just take your word on it, bye https://www.mercomindia.com/china-targets-180-gw-of-energy-storage-capacity-by-2027
