Aggreko today announces that it has partnered with National Grid
U.S. to complete the installation of a 2MW/3.8MWh battery storage
system in Pulaski, New York. The system, which is the first of its
kind in National Grid’s U.S. service area, will provide
supplementary electricity load relief to the utility’s customers at
peak times, enhancing grid stability in the upstate New York area.
The system has been designed by Aggreko to handle 2MW of
customer demand, which is the equivalent of powering approximately
1,600 homes for up to two hours. The project is being unveiled at a
ribbon-cutting event today at National Grid’s Pulaski, N.Y. site,
with speakers including National Grid New York President John
Bruckner; NY-BEST Executive Director Dr. William Acker; Aggreko
Managing Director Karim Wazni; and other dignitaries.
The project will allow National Grid to maintain grid stability
and continue working toward achieving a clean energy future for New
York, as well as attaining broader state-wide goals. New York
Governor Andrew Cuomo has pledged to deploy 1,500 megawatts of
energy storage by 2025.
The energy storage resource is expected to help lower energy
costs for National Grid’s customers in upstate New York, increasing
the reliability of the grid and modernising its distribution
network, while deferring infrastructure and system upgrades. The
fact that the company is able to defer adding extra capacity to its
energy network also lessens the company’s emissions over the
lifetime of the storage system.
Karim Wazni, Managing Director of Aggreko’s Microgrid and
Storage Solutions (AMSS) business, said: “We are excited to partner
with National Grid on our first project in New York. National Grid
selected us based on our extensive experience and cost-effective
solutions. We look forward to combining our knowledge in innovative
energy storage solutions with National Grid’s customer-driven clean
energy programs to reduce peak demand charges for upstate New York
customers.”
National Grid New York President John Bruckner, said: “This
project will enable us to provide our upstate New York customers
with cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable energy. We are committed
to supporting clean energy technology to meet our carbon reduction
goals. Aggreko’s expert engineers have worked with our team
seamlessly, taking into account our specific challenges to make
sure we have in place a storage system that best suits our
needs.”
