According to Power Technology''s parent company, GlobalData, global energy storage capacity is indeed set to reach the COP29 target of 1.5TW by 2030. Rich explains that pumped storage hydroelectricity (PSH) has been central to the energy transition, having contributed more than 90% of deployed global energy storage capacity until 2020.
Key to changing the energy mix is effective energy storage solutions, where energy is produced energy needs to be stored and consumed when demand doesn''t meet production. IPS is working in innovative compressed air storage solutions, in cooperation with CTG, for storage of energy in the ground, as well as traditional options like large scale

The group's overall land area is 372 km 2 (144 sq mi) and it has 101.9 km (63 mi) of coastline. Discovered in the mid-19th century, the islands lie on the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Ocean and have been an Australian territory since 1947. Heard Island and McDonald Islands contain Australia's only two active volcanoes.
Heard Island and the McDonald Islands have no ports or harbours; ships must anchor offshore. The coastline is 101.9 km (63.3 mi) in extent, and a 12 nmi (22 km) territorial sea and 200 nmi (370 km) exclusive fishing zone are claimed. [ 2 ]
Heard Island, by far the largest of the group, is a 368-square-kilometre (142 sq mi) mountainous island covered by 41 glaciers [ 22 ] (the island is 80% covered with ice [ 2 ]) and dominated by the Big Ben massif.
The much smaller and rocky McDonald Islands are located 44 kilometres (27 mi) to the west of Heard Island. They consist of McDonald Island (186 m or 610 ft high), Flat Island (55 m or 180 ft high) and Meyer Rock (170 m or 560 ft high).
The fauna of the freshwater pools, lakes, streams and mires found in the coastal areas of Heard Island are broadly similar to those on other subantarctic islands of the southern Indian Ocean. Many species reported from Heard Island are found elsewhere.
