Flint Grid Energy Storage System
Project Summary
The Flint Grid Energy Storage System will use a group of rechargeable batteries to store excess electrical energy at times of low demand, which can then be released later in response to increased demand. The Flint Grid Energy Storage System will enhance the flexibility and reliability of the grid without creating emissions or waste products.
System Details:
Generation: 200 MW/4 Hours
Parcel Area: 14.89 Acres
Location: Jug Street Road, Jersey Township, Licking County, Ohio
Safety: Site will be remotely monitored 24/7
Located near substantial and ongoing industrial development, adjacent to the New Albany International Business Park
What is Battery Storage?
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) use a group of rechargeable batteries to store excess electrical energy, which can then be released later in response to increased demand. A few benefits of a BESS include:
Faster, more flexible, and lower-cost electricity: a BESS can respond in milliseconds, increasing both speed and reliability
Integration with renewable energy and electric vehicles
Cleaner storage: batteries do not create emissions or waste products, and do not require water for operation
Approval Process
