A new 97.6-megawatt battery-storage wind power facility is now online in West Virginia. The installation represents the world’s largest lithium-ion-based wind energy storage project and the biggest advanced battery clean energy project in the United States.
Laurel Mountain will deliver 260,000 MWh of clean, flexible power to the grid, helping supply electricity to residents and business in 13 eastern states and the District of Columbia—the largest power market in the world. The farm, built by the wind generation and energy storage wings of global power provider AES Corporation (NYSE: AES), uses 61 GE 1.6 MW wind turbine generators and 32 MW of A123 Systems energy storage devices.
