The power solutions arm of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will deploy three co-located battery storage projects for Origis Energy in the Southeast United States.
As Virginia’s push towards one of the country’s most ambitious energy storage targets gets underway, pilot battery storage projects have been brought online.
Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company and Blackstone-owned Aypa Power have acquired pre-operational battery energy storage system (BESS) developments totalling 110MW of power.
Funding has been raised towards the execution of two battery energy storage projects in Virginia and Texas with a total capacity of 400MW / 1,400MWh, from a partnership of two investment groups and a power project development company.
Virginia’s clean energy policies introduced during 2020 included the US’ biggest state-level target for deployment of energy storage – and the state’s regulator has now introduced the rules intended to enable achievement of that target.
In light of Virginia’s goal to go 100% renewable and clean energy by 2050, utility Dominion Energy has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for 1,000MW of onshore wind and solar and up to 250MW of energy storage as well as laying out longer-term plans.
