US: World’s largest 8,500 MWh capacity battery to be built in Maine | The project will use iron-air batteries that are easier to build, maintain and also recycle at the end of their life.
Form Energy is building the world's largest battery in Maine, USA, which will support the grid with 100 hours of power at 85 MW.
Somerville, Massachusetts-based Form Energy plans to convert the former paper and pulp mill site in Lincoln, Maine, to one housing the world’s biggest battery installation, injecting up to 85 MW of power into the grid at a time. While other energy storage solutions, such as pumped hydro plants, have much bigger capacity, this will be the first installation at such a scale using battery technology alone. The Department of Energy (DOE) has allocated $147 million to building the project, and the world’s largest battery is expected to come online by 2028.
