The Ohio Electric Power Selection Commission has recently approved the investor EOLIAN to deploy a large independent battery energy storage project in the state.
The member of the member issued an environmental compatibility and public demand certificate for the Flint GRID battery energy storage project developed by Eolian on October 20. If the developer does not obtain this certificate, it will not be able to deploy projects in the state.
EOLIAN plans to build a 200MW/800MWh Flint GRID battery energy storage system near New Orbani, Ohio. It is important that the energy storage system is close to a large number of data centers and will shared the grid of the grid with these data centers, and Intel is also opening a chip production plant nearby.
The battery energy storage system can be charged during a period of high renewable energy power generation, and then discharged during the peak power period, reducing the operating pressure of the power grid, and reducing the demand for fossil fuel power generation.
On the same day to approve the FLINT GRID battery energy storage system, the Ohio Electric Power Site Committee also approved the Harvey Solar Project solar power generation project. This is a 350MW solar power field proposed by the renewable energy developer Open Road Renewables.
According to the document submitted to the Ohio Electric Power Site Committee (OPSB) in October 2021, it is expected that this large -scale battery energy storage system will begin construction in the third quarter of 2023 and start in the second quarter of 2024 to begin in 2024. Commercial Operation.
Eolian also purchased a land for the deployment of the project, and will build a substation to transport electricity to the existing 138kV substation, and the nearby data center will also be connected to the grid through the substation.
EOLIAN acquired the project and another developer ABLE GRID power generation assets. Since 2017, the two companies have established a joint venture and plans to deploy a 10GW large -scale energy storage system portfolio in each United States. Eolian completely acquired the joint venture in 2021. Not long ago, the company awarded a 200MW battery energy storage system to award the energy storage system integrators Veorlan Company to deploy two battery energy storage projects in Texas.
