Convergent Energy + Power’s expertise in developing and operating energy storage solutions that benefit utilities and communities made them a natural fit for this project.” “Our recently released Clean Energy Vision plan outlines a pathway to achieve a fossil-free future to our energy systems that incorporates renewable sources of energy and storage solutions such as this NWA Pine Grove. “National Grid is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the amount of renewable energy on the grid while improving reliability and affordability for customers,” said Brian Gemmell, National Grid’s Chief Clean Energy Development Officer. During off-peak days, Convergent will participate in the market to provide clean energy for National Grid customers. National Grid will utilize the system on peak days to provide seamless reliability to customers served by the substation. Through a competitive bidding process, National Grid selected Convergent to cost-effectively increase capacity at its Pine Grove substation, increasing benefits for customers while increasing the amount of solar energy on the grid. ![]() Convergent’s NWA with National Grid pairs battery energy storage with solar energy (solar-plus-storage). ![]() Energy storage (typically battery storage) is a type of NWA that offers utilities a way to increase capacity on the electric grid by charging the batteries when electricity demand is low and discharging when demand outstrips supply. The system, designed, constructed, and operated by Convergent, will deliver more cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable electricity to National Grid customers in Cicero, New York, while leveraging solar energy during nonpeak periods.Īn NWA removes or defers the need to construct or upgrade components of a distribution and/or transmission system. ![]() (New York, NY) – Convergent Energy + Power, a leading provider of energy storage solutions in North America, and National Grid, an electricity, natural gas, and clean energy delivery company serving more than 20 million people throughout New York and New England, today announced the completion of one of the first solar-plus-storage systems providing a non-wires-alternative (NWA). ![]()
