While it might be more than 200 times smaller than the world’s biggest battery energy storage system so far, a 1MW / 5.1MWh project awarded to technology provider FlexGen is expected to be the biggest of its kind in the US state of Kansas.
The 300MW / 1,200MWh Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility in California went into operation just before the end of last year and was officially announced as up and running at the beginning of this one. Moss Landing’s output serves California investor-owned utility (IOU) Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) through long term contracts.

NREMC, a rural utility cooperative in Indiana, has just announced that it is deploying 108MWh of battery storage in a five-year project with energy storage technology and solutions provider FlexGen.
NREMC - Northeastern Rural Electric Membership Corporation - said that the full 108MWh of projects that it is partnering with FlexGen for will help reduce overall grid demand during peak times and lower consumers’ electricity rates while also providing backup power to some of its networks when weather or other events cause disruptions. The energy storage systems are projected to save consumers over US$35 million over 20 years, NREMC claimed.
