The 1 MWh system is set to make its debut suppling power to Haute-Mauricie during transmission line upgrades.
The battery features a modular design with pre-integrated segments that contain batteries, thermal management, and safety systems.
The facility will include a battery recycling building, an office building with laboratories, and a finished goods warehouse.
A report by Lux Research forecasts growing demand for lithium-ion battery recycling capacity, along with a need for innovation to meet that demand.
Also on the rise: The White House announces a pared-down framework for its Build Back Better agenda, Tesla orders 45 GWh of EV batteries, and New Jersey makes its community solar program permanent.
Reports calculated that the single order would be enough to support production of 800,000 vehicles.
The battery, which uses an electrolyte to convert chemical energy into electricity for storage and deployment, will begin testing in 2022 at Duke Energy’s Emerging Technology and Innovation Center in Mount Holly, North Carolina.
StoreDot is opening the facility with the hope that the additional research and development capacity will allow the company to commercialize its battery products by 2024.
Also on the rise: SEG Solar expands its module production in Cambodia, Kentucky’s solar pipeline looks impressive, and Summit Ridge starts work on a community solar portfolio.
The 50:50 joint venture with Norway-based FREYR could result in factories with an initial production capacity of 50 GWh per year by 2030.
