Overview
The Great Lakes Battery will be up to 280 MW in power capacity, capable of storing up to 560 MWh of energy, potentially being built in two stages, where each stage comprises up to 140 MW / 280 MWh.
The battery will provide a variety of services including frequency control and load shifting, which are both necessary for the development of more renewable energy.
The power of the battery is likely to be contracted for an optimal use of the technology.
Battery
Battery storage allows us to store the energy and discharge it into the grid whenever it’s needed.
