UMass Attaches Largest Label to Dartmouth Battery Storage System
UMass Dartmouth officials are touting a public battery storage system as the largest of its kind in Massachusetts, and citing its potential to control costs by releasing energy at peak usage periods when the price of electricity is the most expensive. With FirstLight, AMS and Eversource, the university on the South Coast recently launched the 520-kilowatt system, adding to an infrastructure there that already includes a 1.6 megawatt hour co-generation plant and 369 kilowatts of solar photovoltaic panels.
