Energy Storage

The California Energy Commission awarded a contract to deploy a 5 MW / 500 MWh energy storage project in Mendocino County.

The 20 MW / 80 MWh energy storage will serve Dominion Energy customers.

The lithium-ion battery is large enough to power the equivalent of 30,000 households.

The US solar power market navigated through significant developments, including a decline in total PV from 2021, a surge in community solar projects, increased corporate solar adoption, and impactful policy shifts such as the Inflation Reduction Act.

The solar portfolio will be spread across 50 sites throughout the island-state, adding to Barbados’ 30 MW solar portfolio and pushing the country closer toward being powered by 100% renewables by 2030. 

Under a ten-year contract, the non-wires project will discharge up to four hours of stored energy during the utility’s peak demand period.

The NREL evaluation of solar plus Antora Energy storage system meets the U.S. Military’s exacting standards, revealing that these systems significantly outperform emergency diesel generators in survivability probabilities.
