New England: the story hasn't changed.

  • the energy imports are coming from Trinidad -- as usual
  • wind: 17% of 5% is .... drum roll ...  0.00.85% --- not even one percent contribution to energy needs
  • demand is currently exceeding forecast
  • $82 / MWH

Maine installing more batteries. Link here. Cost: $100 millon-plus for two hours of storage; won't be ready until mid-2025.

Battery projects have key ratings, including the instantaneous power they can release and the duration they can do it for. At 175 megawatts of power capacity, Cross Town will be able to power 175,000 average homes. It’s also rated at 350 MWh, which means it could discharge that much energy for up to two hours.

Houston-based Plus Power has plans to begin construction this spring of the Cross Town 175 MW/350 MWh battery storage installation at the Gorham Industrial Park in the town of Gorham. When completed by mid-2025, it will be one of the largest energy storage facilities in New England. The $100 million-plus project will feature 156 containers spread across five acres in the Gorham Industrial Park with lithium iron phosphate batteries inside. Plus Power is actively involved in the construction of 60 energy storage projects either already operating or in development across the US and Canada.
