Exciting clean energy news! The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has selected our Outer Cape Microgrid Optimization project to receive funding to expand on the benefits of our award-winning battery energy storage system. Our creative solution will coordinate and optimize diverse, customer-owned clean energy resources like solar panels, smart thermostats, and batteries with our 24.9 MW battery energy storage system in Provincetown to extend the length of time that it can provide our customers with reliable power while crews work to make repairs. This innovative project will also deliver significant workforce development benefits targeted to environmental justice and tribal communities. “We’re grateful to the Department of Energy for this exciting opportunity to take our battery energy storage system to the next level to help protect electric reliability for our customers on the Cape, including vulnerable environmental justice communities who continue to be disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change,” said our Vice President for Grid Modernization Jennifer Schilling.
