HES Renewables is building the 1.03-MW (1,032 kW) solar array with 2,400 panels across two large rooftops at the Ballast Point facility.
So we thought we would display a few of the most quoted quotes from Microgrid Knowledge 2024. For those who came we were thrilled to have you there. For those who couldn’t, we missed you and hope to see you next year April 15-17 for Microgrid Knowledge 2025 at the Sheraton Dallas in Texas.
Flow batteries are beginning to appear in microgrids, providing cost savings, long-duration storage and a U.S. supply chain. Two national laboratories are studying how CMBlu Energy’s flow batteries could be best utilized as efforts to deploy more batteries ramp up.
Balfour Beatty Communities added 10.55 MW in rooftop solar capacity at Naval Air Station Key West and NAS bases at Jacksonville, Whiting Field and Mayport, all in Florida. An additional $31 million Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) was completed to deliver efficiency technologies such as next-gen HVAC, improved weatherization, new water fixtures...
Located at the Port of Long Beach in California, the facility is the automaker’s first port vehicle processing and distribution center to be fully powered by on-site renewable energy, thanks to FuelCell Energy’s Tri-gen technology.
