Exciting news from Finland: the world’s largest sand battery (1 MW/100 MWh) is now online! The Pornainen project by Polar Night Energy is 10x bigger than the first commercial sand battery and sets a new benchmark for affordable, long-duration energy storage.

To give an idea of how crazy this is, in 1 month (May, '25), China added so much solar+wind (119GW), it equals 30% of the nameplate capacity (peak power) of the world's entire 2023 nuclear fleet built over 60y-393.4 GW In 5 mon, China added 244GW of S+W, or 62% of nuc's capacity
