Highview Power Storage and Encore Renewable Energy have announced plans to build what they claim will be the first long-duration, liquid air energy storage system in the US.

The facility, which will have a capacity of at least 50MW, is to be located in northern Vermont.

The technology uses excess or off-peak electricity to clean and compress air at subzero temperatures – when electricity is in high demand and more valuable, the pressurised gas is allowed to warm, turning a turbine as it expands and generating energy in the process.
