Energy Storage News

With industrial capability, a connected startup ecosystem and room to build a life alongside a business, Wollongong is challenging old assumptions about where ambitious businesses need to be based.

As intermittent renewables expand, so does the demand for long duration energy storage (LDES). However, different geologies and applications require tailored solutions, and increasingly developers are looking to the subterranean.

Listen to Mark Swinnerton in his recent interview with Nick Rheinberger on ABC Radio.

Renewable energy is the cheapest power source on Earth, but we need a way to store it for when the sun sets and the wind stops. While most focus on chemical batteries, Green Gravity is looking “from the ground down” at the power of gravity.

In this conversation, Karen Kirton sits down with Mark Swinnerton, CEO of Green Gravity, to unpack the practical leadership habits that keep people aligned, fast and focused as you scale.

Australia has 100,000 unused min shafts and a solar storage problem – I talk to CEO + Founder Mark Swinnerton about his idea, his technology and why he loves the NSW East Coast.

The Business Awards honour the ingenuity, resilience, and dedication demonstrated by businesses across New South Wales.

Gravity storage could help New South Wales stabilise renewable energy, turning disused coal mines into long-duration storage sites that keep power reliable and household bills in check.

One of the region’s oldest coal mines is being transformed into a trial site for gravity-based energy storage… experts say could be a turning point in how we power our future.
