From Energy has chosen Maine as the site of its first large-scale grid storage installation with a capacity of 85 MW and 8500 MWh.
There are a lot of new battery technologies out there vying for a piece of the battery storage pie. Originally, traditional NMC battery cells were used to make battery energy storage systems , but today LFP batteries have become the preferred choice because they cost less and minimize the risk of thermal runaway events, which is the polite way of saying “fires” if you are a public relations professional.
“Our battery systems can be sited anywhere, even in urban areas, to meet utility scale energy needs. Our batteries complement the function of lithium-ion batteries, allowing for an optimal balance of our technology and lithium-ion batteries to deliver the lowest cost renewable and reliable electric system year-round.”Form Energy is developing the site outside of Bangor, Maine, which is unusual in the industry.
The Maine installation marks the first time that Form has chosen to develop its own project instead of contracting with a utility customer, and not coincidentally, it’s the most ambitious so far. “This is a very natural next step in terms of scaling up and deployments,” Jaramillo said, adding that it’s actually not a huge outlier compared with other projects Form is working on but hasn’t yet publicized.
