Highview Power, Encore plan to develop 50 MW Liquid Air Energy Storage System in Vermont
Highview Power Storage, Inc. and Encore Renewable Energy have jointly announced plans to develop the United States’ first long duration, liquid air energy storage system.
The facility will have a minimum capacity of 50 MW, provide in excess of eight hours of storage (400 MWh), and will be located in northern Vermont.
The project is the first utility-scale, liquid air energy storage project in the United States to help scale up renewable energy deployment. The Vermont facility will contribute to resolving the longstanding energy transmission challenges surrounding the state’s Sheffield-Highgate Export Interface (SHEI) and enable the efficient transport of excess power from renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power to help integrate them on the power grid.
