WATTMORE announced the completion of the construction phase of our 3 MW / 12MWh Energy Storage Project for the Nebraska utility, Lincoln Electric System (LES), with final commissioning within the coming weeks. The culmination of four years of partnership with Bridge Renewables, now Apollo Capital, and two years of construction with project partner, Eos Energy Enterprises (Eos), as the long-duration energy storage technology supplier, was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour of the facility in Lincoln last week.
This project strengthens the local electric grid and LES’ existing community grid, which supports downtown Lincoln in the event of an outage and handles grid services. The energy system was formed by three American energy companies who worked resiliently to make sure this milestone project efficiently services Nebraska’s capital city.
WATTMORE’s Intellect Operate system will fill the role of a battery energy management system to monitor and control the battery for health, safety and daily operations, as well as provide a customized energy dispatch schedule. WATTMORE is pleased to collaborate on such an innovative project.
