H126 LDES Leaderboard

So what

Emerging tech continues to be outcompeted by long duration lithium-ion, which is high-efficiency, low-cost, and being deployed at scale. The leading non-lithium contenders are Energy Dome (liquid CO2), Highview Power (liquid air), and Hydrostor (adiabatic compressed air) as a result of strong deployment totals and competitive capex.

The Leaderboard

Sightline’s LDES leaderboard is a market snapshot that identifies vendors who have strong technology fundamentals, steel in the ground, and competitive economics. Vendors are scored on efficiency (% RTE), finance ($m raised & mobilized), deployment (MW post-FID), and economics ($/kW-yr capex) to give a real-time view of who is ready to scale, backed by vendor-level benchmarks for deeper analysis.
