One year ago, the Office of Electricity’s Grid Storage Launchpad was a new building full of sparkling new laboratories with new, unused equipment. Today, the 93,000-square-foot facility is bustling with researchers who are working to develop robust, affordable energy storage solutions to help bolster the nation’s electricity grid.
The Office of Electricity announced $5 million each to 3 grid-scale energy storage projects that support critical facilities and infrastructure in a power outage or other emergency. Funding is from the Critical Facility Energy Resilience (CiFER) FOA.
Submissions open for innovative solutions for less conventional use cases for the Energy Storage Innovations Prize Round 2.
