ComEd has launched a community solar project in Kankakee County that offers qualified ComEd customers throughout northern Illinois access to solar energy and savings of up to $1,000 annually on their electricity bills for a three-year subscription term.

The Gar Creek solar project will serve up to 600 customers. The project is owned by Fosler Solar, a Babcock & Wilcox company in Freeport, Ill., and was developed by Trajectory Energy Partners of Illinois.

“At ComEd, we are committed to making the transition to clean energy as inclusive as possible, and the Gar Creek project will help us achieve that goal,” says Scott Vogt, vice president of energy acquisition at ComEd. “Our partners at Fosler Solar and Trajectory Energy share our vision, and we are excited to work with them to provide qualified customers anywhere in our region with access to solar energy regardless of their income level.”

The program is enabled by Illinois Solar for All, which helps make solar installations more affordable through state incentives, and through ComEd’s partnerships with community solar developers. The first program of its kind in Illinois, Give-A-Ray was launched last year with a community solar project that serves qualified customers in the Rockford area.

“The Gar Creek community solar project provides a unique opportunity for qualified customers to access clean, solar energy and realize meaningful savings on their energy bill,” states Nathaniel Dick, director of energy at Preservation of Affordable Housing Inc., which supports enrollment in the project. “ComEd’s Give-A-Ray community solar program helps reduce the energy burden at our sites for low-to-moderate income families.”

By the end of this year, ComEd expects to have more than 80 community solar projects interconnected to its grid, enabling residential customers to participate in the benefits of solar energy without needing to install solar panels on their own homes. Last year ComEd also received – for the third year in a row – more than 10,000 applications from residential, commercial and industrial customers to connect distributed energy resources like solar energy to the ComEd system.

Nextracker has launched NX Horizon-XTR, a terrain-following, single-axis tracker designed to expand the addressable market of solar power on sites with sloped, uneven and challenging terrain.

Nextracker began deployment and empirical testing of NX Horizon-XTR at utility scale three years ago, working closely with customers that faced capital expense and construction challenges on project sites with hilly terrain. Savings in the millions attributable to reduced grading and shorter piles has been validated on select utility-scale projects, the company says.

Over 15 NX Horizon-XTR sites are operational, and dozens of additional projects are under design and construction in the U.S. and abroad.

Project developers are increasingly including sites with sloping and undulating terrain to meet the demand for utility-scale solar plants. Land with these characteristics has historically introduced more risk and cost to projects, requiring significant earthwork and longer foundation pile lengths. NX Horizon-XTR’s terrain-following capabilities can reduce grading, minimize steel costs, and decrease project risks.

“NX Horizon-XTR’s ability to follow terrain can significantly reduce earthwork, allowing these otherwise-infeasible sites to become economically and environmentally viable solar projects. Less earthwork means lower upfront costs and improved scheduling. XTR has allowed us to win more projects by making us more competitive in our project bids, while also lowering our impact on the environment,” says Donny Gallagher, VP of engineering of SOLV Energy, one of Nextracker’s engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) partners that has deployed and field-tested NX Horizon-XTR.

“This is a smarter, more streamlined way to build solar on challenging terrain,” states Nick de Vries, SVP of technology and asset management at Silicon Ranch. “There are some things you cannot out-engineer, and in my experience well-established topsoil is one of them. Deploying traditional trackers on sites with varied terrain has required extra earthwork and longer foundation piles, which increases project costs and adds risk.”

“Earthwork is especially painful as it affects a solar project three times: first performing grading, next reseeding the exposed dirt, and later fixing the inevitable erosion and hydrology issues that come from the lack of well-vegetated topsoil,” adds de Vries. “For Silicon Ranch, high-quality solar projects and being good stewards of the land go together, so conforming to the native ground contours with Horizon-XTR just makes sense.”

“A big factor in Nextracker’s DNA is listening to our customers, evaluating their requests, and where feasible, integrating their suggestions into our product development,” comments Dan Shugar, Nextracker’s CEO and founder.

The NX Tracker Technology breaks the paradigm of the “straight-line row” design constraint by conforming to the existing ups and downs of north-south ground slope undulations, so that trackers no longer require installation along a single plane but can follow natural site contours. NX Horizon-XTR builds on the over 50 GW of NX Horizon tracker deployments.

“Over 3 years ago, SOLV (formerly Swinerton Renewable Energy) pushed us to develop a terrain-following solution and the result is our XTR product line. We worked closely with them and project owners to integrate their requirements and complete lab and field-tests of a terrain-following tracker. We offered a few years of exclusivity for SOLV that we executed together, and then rolled out the technology to the global market.”

Vanadium flow battery energy storage units at Pivot Power’s Energy Superhub site in Oxford, England. Image: Invinity Energy Systems.

EDF-owned battery storage developer-investor Pivot Power has secured planning permission for two 50MW/100MWh lithium-ion battery storage sites in the UK.

Located in Sundon, Luton in Southeast England, and Indian Queens, Cornwall in Southwest England, both sites form part of the company’s wider ‘Energy Superhub’ rollout.

Construction at Sundon will start in early 2023, with the aim of connecting it to the existing local substation later in the year. Once complete, a private wire will allow the site to contribute to electric vehicle (EV) charging.

The Indian Queens site will share a grid connection with two other developers, including Renewable Connections. The two companies submitted a joint planning application for the site, and both received permission for the construction of 50MW/100MWh batteries, which are expected to go live in 2024.

Like at Sundon, Pivot Power is planning to develop a private wire once the battery is live, boosting EV charging in Cornwall.

Both follow the rollout of other ‘superhubs’ in the West Midlands and Oxford by Pivot Power, which is targeting 2GW of transmission-connected battery storage and high-volume power connections.

The two new sites will largely mirror the two West Midlands sites, where Pivot is working with Wärtsilä to develop two 50MW/100MWh battery storage assets along with EV charging infrastructure. Work kicked off on the first of these sites in Sandwell in December.

The Oxford Energy Superhub is a broader project, including hybrid battery storage combining vanadium redox flow battery tech with lithium-ion batteries, low carbon heating, smart energy management technology and EV charging. As part of this, it fully energised the UK’s largest flow battery, in December 2021.

Melilla, where the storage system will be located, sits in a Spanish enclave on Morocco’s northeast coast. Image: JJ Merelo.

Energy group Enel has started operating a 4MW/1.7MWh backup power storage system at a plant in Spain’s North African territory using 78 repurposed Nissan electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

The ‘Second Life’ project is located at a conventional power plant in Melilla operator by the company’s Spanish arm Endesa.

The battery energy storage system (BESS) uses 48 disused EV batteries and another 30 new batteries included for performance comparison and was assembled by system integrator Loccioni.

The company says that each battery pack removed from the vehicle is placed directly into the overall storage system exactly as it was in the vehicle, without the need for disassembly.

Melilla is located in a Spanish enclave on Moroccan coast and its 90,000 residents’ electricity needs are served by a local microgrid powered by Endesa’s power plant. In the event of the power plant disconnecting, the BESS will be able to inject power into Melilla’s microgrid for 15 minutes allowing the plant to reset and restart the grid power supply.

This will help Melilla’s electricity grid operator avoid load shedding events, improve the reliability of the grid and secure the continuity of network service to the local population, Enel said.

The company says its advanced energy solutions segment Enel X Global Retail is also working on a project to build a 10MWh BESS using disused EV batteries, from multiple vehicle brands, into a 30MW solar park at Rome Fiumicino airport.

Second life projects using EV batteries for various use cases are springing up across the sector. One expert recently wrote a guest blog on Energy-storage.news saying that up to 30% of EV batteries can be re-used and US national lab UL is looking at the technology in partnership with Hyundai.

Just last week, Jaguar Land Rover launched a mobile 125kWh BESS solution for EV charging which used batteries from its Jaguar I-PACE SUV. That production required disassembly with 85% of materials re-used though as a mobile solution will need to take up less space than a stationary one.

And at the start of the year, second life Audi EV batteries from its e-tron line were used to deliver a 4.5MWh BESS at a pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) plant in North-Rhine Westphalia run by energy group RWE. The firm said the batteries still had 80% of their residual capacity when taken out of car use.

Energy-storage.news has asked Enel for an equivalent figure from Nissan’s EV batteries and will update this story when a substantive response is received.

Enel claims its renewable arm Enel Green Power is the largest privately-held renewable company with 54GW of renewable generating assets, as well as 300MW of storage and 80MW of behind-the-meter storage installations to-date.

DTE Energy’s MIGreenPower program, a voluntary renewable energy program, has surpassed 50,000 residential subscribers.

With approximately 500 new residential customers joining each week and demand from some of the state’s largest corporations and non-profit organizations, the program is driving the addition of thousands of megawatts of new clean energy to the grid.

“Our customers are demanding a Grid of the Future, a modern new grid delivering clean and reliable energy, and we’re delivering it,” says Jerry Norcia, president and CEO of DTE Energy.

MIGreenPower enables customers to reduce their carbon footprint by attributing more of their electricity use to local wind and solar projects beyond the 15% DTE already provides. On an annual basis, MIGreenPower customers have enrolled 1.9 million MWh of clean energy in the program.

DTE’s MIGreenPower clean energy projects are being developed in addition to the projects DTE has added to meet the state’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS). In 2021, DTE achieved the state’s 15% RPS – and then increased its renewable energy capacity by 40% as a direct result of the growth of the MIGreenPower program.

To meet continued customer demand, DTE plans to add several new MIGreenPower solar projects ranging from a 20 MWarray in Washtenaw County to projects exceeding 100 MW in rural communities in Michigan. The company is issuing a Request for Proposal for 500 MW of new MIGreenPower wind and/or solar projects to come online in 2023. The company also has other new solar projects in various stages of development that are scheduled to come online by 2025.

In its February 2022 Report on the Implementation and Cost-Effectiveness of the P.A. 295 Renewable Energy Standard, the Michigan Public Service Commission credits voluntary renewable energy programs like MIGreenPower with becoming “a major driver of new renewable energy growth in Michigan.” The report also cites an increase in the number of customers taking advantage of their utilities’ voluntary programs to purchase more clean energy.

MIGreenPower provides DTE’s electric customers with an easy and affordable way to reduce their home’s electricity-based carbon footprint for far less than it costs to install a private generation system. Private rooftop solar systems, for example, can cost upwards of $30,000. With MIGreenPower, residential and small business customers can subscribe for as little as $1 per month, customize their participation level and unsubscribe at any time without penalties.

“We want to thank all our MIGreenPower customers for their participation in this program and for helping to create a cleaner, greener Michigan,” states Trevor Lauer, president and COO of DTE’s electric company. “At DTE, we are committed to getting as clean as we can as fast as we can. Adding large-scale clean energy projects allows us to bring more clean energy to the grid to more people. It’s also less expensive, and more equitable and impactful in terms of carbon emissions avoidance.”

DTE’s 50-plus wind parks and solar farms generate enough clean energy to power nearly 700,000 Michigan homes. By 2025, the company will generate enough clean energy to power more than one million homes.

Indonesia aims to convert 250MW of diesel-generated power to renewable energy this year and will need battery storage to do this successfully. Image: PLN.

Indonesia’s state-owned utility and battery producer have launched a 5MW battery energy storage system (BESS) pilot project as it seeks to move away from diesel-generated power.

The country’s state-owned utility PLN has signed a memorandum of understanding with another state-owned body, the Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC), to build the BESS this year, PLN said.

“Because the development of renewable energy plants is currently dominated by solar power plants and wind power plants, which are intermittent, they require batteries to provide consistent electricity supply,” said PLN’s Director of Corporate Planning Evy Haryadi.

Although PLN hasn’t specified where the BESS will be or its specific functions, it appears likely to be located at the site of both fossil-fuel and renewable power generating plants.

PLN plans to convert 250MW of power currently sourced from diesel fired power plants to renewable energy this year, it said.

“In line with the plan, the role of BESS is very important so that the electricity supply to the community can still be on for 24 hours,” added Evy.

PLN’s ‘de-dieselisation’ program will involved 5,200 units of new renewable energy generation with a total power of 2GW by 2024 and is a potential application for battery storage, according to a recent presentation by a local energy and environment policy think-tank.

PLN’s announcement doesn’t go into these specifics but says that BESS technology will in future be applied to all power plants belonging to the PLN group, and that this will be carried out by the joint operation (KSO) set up by the companies to deliver the pilot BESS.

Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC) was set up last year as a partnership between four state-owned companies: oil and gas group Pertamina, mining groups Aneka Tambang and Inalum, and PLN.

In addition to the MOU, PLN is also working with two Korean companies to research the technology’s potential to help the two countries renewable energy transition, as well as to reduce costs through things like peak shaving. The latter is a very common use case for BESS projects to reduce the demand for power from the grid at peak times, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering electricity costs.

PLN also said it is collaborating with a subsidiary of conglomerate Sinar Mas Group to expand the country’s electric vehicle charging (EV) infrastructure.

The PLN subsidiaries involved in the BESS project are the main electricity provider PT Indonesia Power, plant operator PT Pembangkitan Jawa Bali and support unit Electricity Maintenance Center.

Largest BESS launched by, and for, Indonesia?

Plenty of much larger solar-plus-storage projects in Indonesian territory have surfaced in the past year but these have been primarily developed by Singapore-based entities and intend to mainly serve that market.

Sister site pv-tech.org covered an announcement by Singaporean renewable energy group Sunseap in October that it had signed an MOU to develop 7GWp of solar paired with a huge 12GWh of storage in an Indonesia archipelago. However, the project aims to transmit the energy to Singapore via a subsea cable.

The same month, energy and development group Sembcorp Industries (also Singapore-based) announced an MOU with PLN to develop a solar and storage project in the Batam-Bintan-Karimun island region. It also plans to transmit energy back to the city-state via a subsea cable, although the announcement said local energy needs would also be serviced.

The presentation cited earlier said a 100MW solar-plus-storage project in South Sumatra is also planned by Indonesia Power, a PLN subsidiary – it is not clear if this is the same project as PLN’s recent announcement but it’s unlikely.

Hitachi ABB Power Grids is also building a solar microgrid with 2MWh of storage deeper within Indonesia’s territory at a coal mine, as reported by Energy-storage.news in early 2021.

The country is further behind its neighbours like The Philippines on implementing battery storage projects. There, the global system integrator Fluence recently turned on a 20MW/20MWh grid-connected BESS as part of a 1,000MW portfolio in development and construction for power company SMC Global Power.

Indonesia’s current pipeline of energy storage projects is mostly pumped hydro, totalling 4,063MW according to IHS Markit.

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) will be the dominant battery chemistry over nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) by 2028, in a global market of demand exceeding 3,000GWh by 2030.

That’s according to new analysis into the lithium-ion battery manufacturing industry published by Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables.

The top two manufacturers planning to add the most production capacity during this decade were China’s CATL and South Korea’s LG.

CATL alone intends to have 800GWh of annual production capacity online by 2030.

The top 15 producers in 2021 alone got 200GWh of new production lines running and by the end of last year cumulative manufacturing capacity reached 600GWh.

China’s manufacturers across the board have announced plans to build more than 3,000GWh of capacity to date. The Asia-Pacific region will therefore continue to lead the market, which globally has announced 5,500GWh of manufacturing capacity to come online by 2030 at 300 facilities, but Europe and the US will have begun to eat into its share by then. 

While 90% of the world’s battery manufacturing was in the Asia-Pacific region, and most of that in China, by 2030 that share will have fallen to 69%. Europe will have a 20% share at that stage, Wood Mackenzie forecast. 

That forecasting is broadly in line with recent figures from another analysis group, Clean Energy Associates, which said China — as opposed to Wood Mac’s reporting of Asia-Pacific region percentage — had a share of about 75% of global battery cell production capacity in 2020, set to fall to 66% by 2030.

Another group, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, calculated that Europe is on track for 27 gigafactories by 18 different producers by 2030, accounting for 789.2GWh of capacity by then, a 14% share of the global total market.

‘Skyrocketing demand’

Like Wood Mackenzie, Clean Energy Associates (CEA) noted the competitive dynamic heating up between LFP and NMC batteries. Safety advantages, long lifecycle and lower costs have led to EV makers starting to accept the trade-off of lower energy density in adopting LFP batteries, both firms have noted.

LFP has already been accepted by the stationary battery energy storage system (BESS) sector, where energy density tends to be a less decisive factor.

CEA said LFP outsold NMC among batteries sold by Chinese manufacturers, with its market share growing through the year: of 100GWh of lithium batteries used for EVs and ESS, 44% were NMC and the majority of the remainder LFP. 

Wood Mackenzie said similarly that LFP’s advantages are making it an attractive option in both power and energy applications, over the more mature market technology of NMC. 

Supply chain issues which have beset the battery market are not likely to ease during 2022, the group noted, particularly with EV demand rising in reaction to the rising price of oil and the ongoing raw materials commodity crunch. Nonetheless, many more new plant announcements are expected this year, Wood Mackenzie analysts said. 

Nearly 80% of lithium-ion battery demand is coming from the EV market, Wood Mackenzie consultant Jiayue Zheng said, adding that zero-emissions transport policies rolled out in response to rising fuel costs is “causing demand for lithium-ion batteries to skyrocket”.

The market already encountered shortages last year, Zheng said, driven by a combination of rising demand and raw material prices.  

For stationary energy storage, predicted by Clean Energy Associates to account for about 13% of the total lithium battery market’s demand by 2030, it will be a case of figuring out strategies to vie for battery supply with EVs or diversify their technologies to get around the problem. 

One example could be sodium-ion. CATL, one of the first to produce LFP batteries at scale and a major supplier to the BESS industry, has backed sodium-ion technology as a possible alternative and committed to commercialising it.   

Yesterday, Sweden-based sodium-ion battery tech company Altris said that investors in a EU9.6 million (US$10.6 million) Series A funding round had included European battery manufacturing startup Northvolt. Major India-based clean energy group Reliance New Energy has also invested in sodium-ion, buying Faradion, a UK sodium-ion battery company.

50MWh BESS at the 60MW Gannawarra solar farm, using Tesla Powerpacks. Image: Edify Energy.

Tesla has been contracted to provide 150MW/300MWh of its Megapack battery energy storage system (BESS) solution for projects in development by Edify Energy in Australia. 

Edify Energy said the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) deal signed with Tesla Motors Australia covers three standalone lithium-ion BESS installations which will be connected to an electric substation at Darlington Point, in the Murrumbidgee Shire, New South Wales (NSW). 

The three colocated projects in the portfolio are the 60MW/120MWh Riverina Energy Storage System 1, 65MW/130MWh Riverina Energy Storage System 2 and the 25MW/50MWh Darlington Point Energy Storage System. 

Last May, oil and gas major Shell’s consumer utilities subsidiary Shell Energy signed a long-term services agreement for operational rights to Riverina Energy Storage System 1. As reported by Energy-Storage.news at the time, it will be used to service Shell’s long-term retail contract with the NSW government.

The relationship between Edify and Tesla in Australia goes back to their work together on a battery storage retrofit at Gannawarra solar fam in Victoria, completed in 2018 and among the country’s first large-scale battery projects. 

The 25MW/50MWh system at Gannawarra was based on Megapack’s predecessor, the Tesla Powerpack — which is still available as a commercial and industrial (C&I) or small utility application product, but has been replaced for larger projects with the Megapack since its launch in 2019. Each Megapack has a maximum capacity of 3MWh. 

Tesla has supplied some of Australia’s biggest BESS projects so far including the Hornsdale Power Reserve (150MW/193.5MWh) and the just-completed Victorian Big Battery (300MW/450MWh), both of which were by developer Neoen. Megapacks will also be used at Genex Power’s 100MWh Bouldercombe project in Queensland which has reached financial close in the past few weeks.

The 300MWh of battery storage at Darlington Point will play into the National Electricity Market (NEM), which covers most of Australia’s east coast regions. The NEM already offers revenue opportunities for batteries on a merchant basis for ancillary services and arbitrage, and is evolving rapidly to accommodate greener and more efficient grid assets like batteries and inverter-based renewables. 

“The advantages of large-scale batteries in our growing world of renewables are well documented and supported,” Edify CEO John Cole said.

“Energy storage is rapidly becoming a valued capacity solution for the National Electricity Market, given its fast and precise response and technical capability. The pace of advancement in this growing technology class is exciting and with it a breaking of the barriers to acceptance from market and network participants.” 

Smart inverters at the Darlington Point Substation projects will mean the battery systems will also be able to support the local grid with stability services traditionally played by the rotating mass of thermal generation plants, providing synchronous inertia.

“Without a doubt, as the understanding of advanced inverters grows, we will see more smart technologies replacing rotating machines and accelerating Australia’s transition to a clean energy future,” Cole said.

A recent Guest Blog for this site from Blair Reynolds, a product manager for inverter manufacturer SMA explained the growing role inverter-based technologies can play in mimicking synchronous rotating machines to help stabilise the grid in a low-carbon future.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is providing nearly $9 million in funding to 13 American Indian and Alaska Native communities for 14 renewable and advanced energy projects, including solar power installations.

Among the projects:

Coeur d’Alene Tribe, Plummer, Idaho: 35.2 kW of solar PV on the roof of the tribe’s Coeur Center, a new youth recreation center located in Worley, Idaho. The solar PV system is expected to reduce energy use of the Center by nearly 41,750 kWh per year, resulting in a life time savings of $136,259.

Karuk Tribe, Happy Camp, Calif.: A 947 kW ground-mounted solar PV system for the tribal casino and administrative trailers, and a 18.4 kW roof-mounted system on the newly constructed wellness center. The project will also install 310 kW of solar PV and 580 kWh of battery storage on 39 elders’ homes to power critical loads during grid outages.

La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians, Pauma Valley, Calif.: 104.72 kW of solar PV systems and 132 kWh of battery storage to supply electrical power to the La Jolla Trading Post, the only store and gas station on the La Jolla Indian Reservation.

Puvurnaq Power Co., Kongiganak, Alaska: This tribally owned village utility will purchase, install and integrate a 200 kW solar PV array to an existing wind diesel battery power system in the Village of Kongiganak.

The full list of projects is available here.

Flagstaff (Arizona) where a company providing off-grid solar solutions to native American communities, one of the 14 recipients, is based. Image: Don Graham.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 14 underserved community applicants to receive technical support from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) around energy needs, up to five of which will then receive engineering support to deploy energy storage solutions.

The DOE Office of Electricity’s Energy Storage Program has selected 14 urban, rural and tribal communities from over 60 applicants to receive the assistance from PNNL as part the lab’s Energy Storage for Social Equity (ES4SE) Initiative.

ES4SE was set up to support disadvantaged communities affected by unreliable and expensive energy systems with direct access to non-financial technical assistance potential support for new local energy storage project projects.

The first phase will see the communities receive support to assess their energy needs, evaluate solutions and find potential partners to deliver on those solutions. The DOE says that technical assistance may include energy, economic, and spatial analysis.

The second phase will then see up to five communities from the 14 chosen to start installing and commissioning an energy storage project.

PNNL will provide engineering support including equipment sizing, identifying utility connections, identifying safety concerns, installation support, measurement, and validation to ensure the project performs as needed.

This initiative can be seen as one small part of a much larger move by the US government to decarbonise its energy sector in an equitable way. Last year’s trillion-dollar Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal included sections about increasing investments into clean energy in underserved communities.

And discussions around the domestication of the lithium-ion battery cell production supply chain have frequently touched upon doing so an an equitable way, by building factories in de-industrialised communities and ensuring more communities are not de-industrialised and ‘left behind’ in the process.

The 14 winning participants, from across the US, are:

Native Renewable, Flagstaff, AZCher-Ae Heights Indian Community and Western Energy Development, Trinidad, CAAyika Solutions Incorporated, Atlanta, GAHoʻāhu Energy Cooperative Molokai, Kaunakakai, HITogether New Orleans, New Orleans, LAHonor the Earth, Callaway, MNCoast Electric Power Association, Kiln, MSJoule Community Power and Open Door Mission, Rochester, NYWarm Springs Community Action Team, Warm Springs, ORRogue Climate, Coos Bay, ORCoyote Steals Fire Energy Group, Pendleton, ORMakah Tribe, Neah Bay, WAKlickitat Valley Health, Goldendale, WAOneida Nation, Oneida, WI

PNNL is one of three national labs in the US providing research and validation services for energy storage technologies and projects.
