Renewable Energy Integration ::
Battery storage responds instantly to grid fluctuations, maximizing value of existing renewables and enabling addition of more new intermittent renewables to grid. It also helps avoid the curtailment of renewables and helps reduce the reliance of fossil fuels in the evening hours, reducing strain on the grid during ramp to provide clean energy even when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing, Battery storage captures and uses excess renewable energy.
Water ::
Unlike fossil fuel generation, battery energy storage requires no water for operations and will have no emissions or discharges which could impact water quality.
Air Quality ::
Energy storage has zero emissions, with no adverse impact on air quality.
Power Grid ::
Creates a more reliable and diversified power grid.
Traffic ::
Once operational, energy storage facilities have no full-time employees; a single local tech will visit several times a week, and a team of 8-10 techs will spend about a week doing major maintenance annually.
Emissions ::
Battery energy storage projects create no appreciable emissions of any kind.
Hazardous Materials ::
Our projects’ utilize batteries that create little to no hazardous waste due to their lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry which contain no fluids or gels (unlike lead-acid batteries), no cobalt (unlike many lithium-ion batteries), and no toxic emissions or waste (unlike nuclear or gas). End-of-life battery recycling is taken into account during project planning and operations.
Construction ::
Energy storage’s short (~6-12 month) build timeline minimizes inconvenience to the community.
Noise ::
Energy storage creates almost no noise, as it is enclosed in a container or enclosure.
Small Footprint ::
Energy storage facilities require very little acreage.
Options ::
Empowers customer and smart grid choices.
Revenues ::
Reduces costs for ratepayers.
