What is a UPS battery backup? You'll be glad for your uninterruptible power supply (UPS) when your typical power source fails, or when the voltage is above the necessary levels to function, as power surges or spikes. The benefit to UPS backups is twofold. First and foremost, they supply power for hardworking electronics — like.
Boston Power has announced plans to build an advanced lithium ion battery plant in Massachusetts and is seeking $100 million in help from the program. The planned 455,000 sq ft site would increase the company's workforce by 600 and create as many as 2,000 indirect positions in the supply chain.
Cranberry Point and Cross Town are the largest battery energy storage projects in construction with planned operations in New England and are expected to be online by the summer of 2025.
The Massachusetts Energy Siting Facilities Board has approved two energy storage facilities with a combined capacity of 400 MW/800 MWh. This decision overturns previous rulings that hindered the development of these facilities. Once operational, they will fulfill 80% of the state's 1 GWh energy storage deployment target for 2025.
For context, the largest battery storage facility in the country is currently 750 megawatts, located at Moss Landing in California. If approved, the Somerset project has an estimated operation date of 2027.
“Battery energy storage systems are valuable to their owners, but also to the grid,” said Sarah Cullinan, senior director of the Net Zero Grid Program at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. “That value from batteries is reflected by revenues and other benefit streams that battery system owners can access.”
As of November, Massachusetts trailed California, Texas, Arizona, and Florida on a list of U.S. states with the most battery storage capacity installed. The New York Times recently reported that California, since 2020, has installed more giant batteries than anywhere in the world, apart from China.
The largest battery project currently proposed in the queue is 714 megawatts and would interconnect with a substation at Brayton Point in Somerset, a former coal-fired plant site now being transformed into a landing point for renewable energy when it comes onshore.
For an average electricity user, that could mean fewer power outages in the future and bill savings as a result of deploying stored energy during peak demand times. In addition, homeowners and businesses in Massachusetts are getting paid to install battery systems as part of state incentive programs.
