Will Puget Sound Energy deploy a multiday energy storage system?

Washington state utility Puget Sound Energy and energy storage developer Form Energy have entered into a memorandum of understanding to look into deploying a multiday energy storage system in the utility’s footprint, the two companies announced last week.

Which energy storage companies are developing a battery?

The utility has partnered with long-duration energy storage provider Form Energy, which is developing an iron-air battery capable of discharging power for multiple days. They’re also testing a zinc-hybrid battery developed by Eos Energy, as well as a behind-the-meter metal-hydrogen battery from EnerVenue.

How long does a utility energy storage sale take?

Part of the challenge is the rapid evolution of technology. A typical utility energy storage sales cycle can take 3 to 4 years from the signing of a deal to commercial operation, and storage technology often evolves at multiple points on that timeline. Another is lacking standards for integrating, operating, and servicing energy storage assets.

How long does it take to adopt energy storage?

But adoption and scale still face an uphill battle. Part of the challenge is the rapid evolution of technology. A typical utility energy storage sales cycle can take 3 to 4 years from the signing of a deal to commercial operation, and storage technology often evolves at multiple points on that timeline.

Can energy storage replace fossil fuel generation?

For utilities looking to replace dispatchable fossil fuel generation, as well as meet the growing demand for electricity from electric vehicles and other end uses, energy storage is emerging as a key solution. For PSE, this means having more new, non-emitting generation resources by 2030 than it has acquired in its 150-year history, Padula said.
