A 2-megawatt lithium-ion battery system, will be placed at Duke Energy’s,
. . . retired W.C. Beckjord coal-fired power plant in New Richmond, Ohio, and
. . . will be used to provide ancillary services, in PJM’s frequency regulation market.
It will join another 2-megawatt battery system, already in operation at the site.
. . . The system was placed at a retired coal plant,
. . . because of available transmission capacity at the site.
Duke is also repurposing a retired coal plant in Asheville, N.C.,
. . . replacing it with a combined-cycle natural gas plant, and a solar farm.
Duke, also has a 36-megawatt energy storage project,
. . . in Texas at Notrees Windpower farm, and
. . . 5 other smaller projects ranging from 75 kilowatts to 400 kilowatts,
. . . mostly in North Carolina.
