The regulator received 171 applications, of which fewer than half met the criteria to proceed to full project assessment. Among the technologies approved are five pumped storage hydro (PSH) projects, representing 4.6GW of capacity. Technologies include lithium-ion batteries, vanadium flow batteries, compressed air, and liquid air storage, alongside pumped storage hydro. Decisions on which projects will receive cap and floor revenue support are expected in summer 2026.
