Invenergy completes battery storage project in Knoxville
Invenergy has completed the four-months construction and the start of commercial operations of a utility-scale battery storage system located in Knoxville, Iowa that Invenergy developed for MidAmerican Energy.
The lithium iron phosphate battery project will enable MidAmerican Energy to store electricity for later use. The battery can provide four megawatt-hours of storage capacity, supplying one megawatt of power for up to four hours—enough electricity to power about 900 average Iowa homes.
This is the fifth utility-scale advanced energy storage project Invenergy has developed, and the first where the company acted as the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) provider. Invenergy is a leading owner-operator of battery storage systems, experience that shaped its approach to this project.
