Fact sheets currently describe Phase 1. Federal Cost Share: Up to $6.5 million Recipient: Urban Electric Power, Inc. Locations: Oneonta, NY and Valhalla, NY Project Summary: Energy storage is critical to New York’s clean energy future.
This project aims to accelerate the commercialization and market development of multiday storage through strategic collaboration, technology, and scale. Form Energy, the technology provider, produces iron-air batteries, which use some of the safest, cheapest, and most abundant materials—low-cost iron, water, and air.
This long-duration energy storage (LDES) project aims to be a key demonstration of critical power backup of an acute care hospital in the U.S. and provide resiliency in a region that is increasingly at-risk for significant power outages due to fires, storm surges, floods, extreme heat, and earthquakes.
The following 5 projects have received funding for Stream 1, Phase 1. No projects were awarded funding through the Thermal energy storage technology category. B9 Energy Storage will receive £986,082 to mobilise a 20MW membrane free electrolyser green hydrogen project.
This project plans to install a 3.3 MW behind-the-meter, non-lithium-ion battery energy storage system that would provide power for at least 10 hours to Valley Children’s Hospital, a pediatric hospital that serves Justice40 communities around Madera, California.
A successful demonstration could enable market adoption of Urban Electric Power’s LDES system by proving decreased technology risk, reducing demand on grid infrastructure through reduced peak demand load, and reducing total costs of installation and operation as compared to a Lithium-Ion system.
