A general view of passengers at St Pancras International station in London, Friday March 7, 2025, after Eurostar trains to the capital have been halted following the discovery of an unexploded Second World War bomb near the tracks in Paris. (James Manning/PA via AP) The Gare du Nord train station is pictured on Jan. 11, 2023 in Paris.
French police have shut down all traffic to and from the station following the find "in the middle of the tracks" in the Saint Denis area, according to French national railway company SNCF. Paris Gare du Nord, one of the French capital's busiest train stations, has been closed after the discovery of a World War Two bomb on nearby tracks
Its services from London to Brussels and London to Amsterdam, which do not go via Paris, were running normally. In 2019, the discovery of a wartime bomb interrupted traffic between the Saint-Lazare station and the western suburbs of Paris.
The bomb's discovery prompted immediate action from authorities, with Paris police working to disable the device. The unexploded ordnance has halted operations at the major transport hub, which serves as a terminal for Eurostar, high-speed and local train services.
A police officer directs the traffic after the discovery of a huge unexploded World War II-era bomb caused transportation chaos in Paris, that included the suspension of high-speed rail links with London and Brussels and the closure of a vital road artery in the French capital Friday, March 7, 2025 in Saint-Denis, outside Paris.
The disruption has caused significant travel chaos for passengers attempting to travel between the two capital cities. French police have shut down all traffic to and from the station following the find "in the middle of the tracks" in the Saint Denis area, according to French national railway company SNCF.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
