In this article, we explore the specifics of this 10 MW battery storage project, offering valuable insights for potential clients interested in similar investments.
By deploying a 15MW / 30MWh energy storage system — comprising six 2. 5MW / 5MWh units seamlessly integrated via medium-voltage lines — the facility now stores energy during low-tariff periods and delivers power back during peak demand.
Construction of EGA's American primary aluminium plant is expected to begin after a feasibility study and by the end of 2026, with first hot metal by the end of the decade. EGA is expecting to invest around $4 billion to develop the project.
Designed to store 300 MWh of clean energy – enough to power 45,000 homes during peak demand – this project tackles two critical challenges: reducing fossil fuel dependency and stabilizing California's power grid. Let's unpack what makes it revolutionary.
Uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries with outstanding thermal stability, longer lifespan, and enhanced safety. Battery, BMS, PCS, HVAC, EMS, and fire protection pre-fitted for fast deployment and reduced onsite work.
