President and CEO of Highview Power, Javier Cavada, said, “We could not be happier to welcome Salvatore to the Highview Power team. His reputation and experience in the US will be a great help to deliver our growing pipeline of projects in the United States.”

According to BloombergNEF, the energy storage market is expected to reach 2,850GWh by 2040, requiring $662bn of investment.
With four different giga-scale projects announced thus far in the US, and more in the pipeline, the market presents a unique opportunity for Highview Power to rapidly deploy its cryogenic energy storage system.
Highview Power said its CRYOBattery™ provides the only freely locatable energy storage solution on the market today that delivers clean, reliable, and cost-efficient long-duration energy storage with grid synchronous inertia.
