Highview Power is laying claim to the first installation of a long duration liquid air energy storage (LAES) system in the United States.

The system - set to be a minimum of 50MW / 400MWh - is being jointly developed by Highview and Encore Renewable Energy and is to provide in excess of eight hours of storage.

The development of the first long-duration liquid air energy storage system in the US has been announced.

The 50MW/400MWh storage system will be located in northern Vermont by Highview Power Storage and Encore Renewable Energy.

The utility-scale scale energy storage plant will help scale renewable energy deployment as well as contribute to resolving the longstanding energy transmission challenges in Vermont.

British liquid air energy storage company Highview Power has announced plans to bring its CRYOBattery tech to the U.S.

Highview yesterday revealed plans to develop a liquid air storage plant with a capacity of at least 50 MW in northern Vermont, with the proposed facility able to store eight hours of energy, for a 400 MWh storage capacity.

The press release published on Highview’s website did not specify the exact location of the plant but said it would help ease “longstanding energy transmission challenges” at the Sheffield-Highgate Export Interface of the electricity grid.

The London-based company did not give a timeline for completion of the project, or any estimated cost, but did reveal Vermont-based renewables and energy storage company Encore Renewable Energy would be its U.S. development partner.

Highview Power Storage, Inc, a global leader in long duration energy storage solutions, and Burlington-based Encore Renewable Energy, a developer of renewable energy generation and storage projects, today jointly announced plans to develop the United States’ first long duration, liquid air energy storage system. This facility will be a minimum of 50MW, provide in excess of eight hours of storage (400MWh) and will be located in northern Vermont. A final site for the facility has not yet been determined.

Plans to build the first long-duration liquid air energy storage system in the United States are under way. The minimum 50-megawatt facility expected to provide more than eight hours of storage — 400 megawatt hours — is being planned for northern Vermont.

Long-duration energy storage company Highview Power Storage and renewable energy project developer Encore Renewable Energy announced the utility-scale project this week.

Highview Power Storage and renewable energy developer Encore Renewable Energy jointly announced plans to develop the United States’ first long duration, liquid air energy storage system. This facility will be a minimum of 50 MW, provide in excess of eight hours of storage (400 MWh) and will be located in northern Vermont.

A British energy company called Highview Power Storage, along with Encore Renewable Energy, a developer of renewable energy generation and storage projects, say they plan to build the United States’ first liquid air energy storage system somewhere in “northern Vermont”. This facility will be “a minimum of 50MW, provide in excess of eight hours of storage (400MWh).”

Highview will co-develop the long-duration energy storage project with Encore Renewable Energy, a Vermont-based clean energy developer with a history of reclaiming real estate landfills, brownfields, rooftops and carports for community-scale solar PV and large-scale energy storage systems.

Highview Power Storage Inc announced today that, alongside renewables developer Encore Renewable Energy, it will install a liquid air energy storage system with a capacity of at least 50 MW in the US state of Vermont.

Highview Power Storage and Encore Renewable Energy are to build a 50MW liquid air energy storage system in the US state of Vermont.

The facility, which the partners said will be the first utility-scale liquid air energy storage system in the country, will provide over eight hours of storage.

It will contribute to resolving longstanding energy transmission challenges surrounding the Vermont’s Sheffield-Highgate Export Interface (SHEI) and enable the efficient transport and integration of renewable energy, the two companies said.

The first liquid-air energy storage (LAES) plant in the US — a 50MW-plus “cryobattery” with eight hours of storage (400MWh) — is to be built in the state of Vermont by the technology’s pioneer, Highview Power, and developer Encore Renewable Energy.

The patented technology offers “a unique, cost effective solution for unleashing a greater amount of cost-efficient renewable energy generation in transmission constrained areas,” Encore Renewable Energy Founder and CEO Chad Farrell said in a statement.

"Highview Power Storage, Inc., a global leader in long duration energy storage solutions, and Encore Renewable Energy, a developer of renewable energy generation and storage projects, today jointly announced plans to develop the United States’ first long duration, liquid air energy storage system.”

Clean energy producers voiced dismay on Tuesday at a U.S. spending bill, saying it fell far short of what wind companies and solar developers had hoped for.

Under the bill, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday, wind companies will get just one more year to land a big subsidy, while solar developers lost out in their bid to extend another key tax credit.

The Federal Reserve's July 31 rate cut has possibly furnished regulated utility stocks with justification for share prices previously considered inflated, with equities continuing to perform well in the first month following the shift in U.S. monetary policy.

Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenbacker Renewable Energy Comapny  LLC  signed the rights to purchase a 27.7 MWdc, 14 project solar portfolio from Encore Renewable Energy and closed a $4 million equipment loan facility with Encore to support safe harbor efforts ahead of the investment tax credit (ITC) phasedown scheduled for the end of the year.

New York-based Greenbacker Renewable Energy Corp has agreed to acquire a 19-MW ready-to-be-built solar project in Michigan.

Earlier this week, the company unveiled an agreement to buy a 27.7-MW solar project portfolio in Vermont from Encore Renewable Energy. All 14 projects in it are expected to be commissioned over the next 12 months.
