Benefits of Battery Energy Storage


Renewable Energy Integration ::

Battery storage responds instantly to grid fluctuations, maximizing the value of existing renewables and enabling the addition of new intermittent renewables to the grid. Storage also helps avoid curtailment of excess renewable generation, and it reduces reliance on fossil fuels in the evening hours by providing clean energy even when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing.

Water Quality & Supply ::

Unlike fossil fuel generation, battery energy storage requires minimal water for operations and will have no waste water emissions or discharges which could impact water quality.

No Adverse Impacts on Air Quality ::

Energy storage emits no particulate matter, nitrogen oxides or other air pollutants. For this reason, it has no adverse impact on air quality.

No 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).

Quiet Operations ::

Energy storage creates almost no noise, as it is enclosed in a purpose-built container or enclosure.

Small Footprint ::

Energy storage facilities require very little acreage, which reduces potential impacts to the environment.
