Arizona Electric Power Cooperative (AEPCO) has received board approval to deploy a solar-plus-storage project with up to 940MWh of capacity, after two smaller co-operatives completed smaller co-located projects in the state.
US independent power producer Clearway Energy has started commercial operations at its Daggett solar-plus-storage facility, which includes 482MW of solar capacity and 280MW of battery storage.
A US$10.5 billion programme to “strengthen grid resilience and reliability” across the US includes funding for microgrids and other projects that will integrate battery storage technologies.
