While the average output (in megawatts) and capacity (in megawatt-hours) of grid-connected battery storage systems appear to be getting larger, with some recently completed and announced projects exceeding the hundred MW / MWh mark, there’s still a vital role to be played for smaller systems that showcase the multiple different configurations and applications for lithium-ion batteries.
Here are three battery energy storage system (BESS) projects from the US that may not individually make headlines for their relative size, but nonetheless prove the value and flexibility of batteries for the grid.

Stem Inc has completed a front-of-the-meter solar-plus-storage project in Massachusetts that will participate in New England’s wholesale markets run by system operator New England ISO.
The company is better known for deploying behind-the-meter battery storage for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, using Stem’s proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) platforms and software to coordinate peak shaving to help customers save money on electricity costs while also aggregating the batteries to use in revenue-generating opportunities such as grid services markets.
