Wisconsin Launches First Large-Scale Battery
The first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Wisconsin, a 110MW facility known as the Paris Solar-Battery Park, is
The 110-megawatt (MW) battery portion of the Paris Solar-Battery Park went online this month. The 200-MW solar portion of the project went into service in December. The storage facility is made up of batteries capable of powering more than 130,000 homes for four hours.
The park's 12,000 lithium-ion batteries can power over 130,000 homes for up to four hours. We Energies, the majority owner, plans to discharge the batteries multiple times per week. The accompanying Paris Solar Park, with nearly 50,000 solar panels, provides the energy stored in the batteries.
The Paris Solar-Battery Park can power more than 130,000 homes for four hours, according to We Energies. Officials explained the way the storage facility works. They said that batteries store excess power on sunny days. Then, that power is released at night or in the early morning when the sun isn't out.
We Energies announced on Tuesday that the Paris Solar-Battery Park in Kenosha County has started serving customers on the energy grid. While the 200-megawatt solar portion of the project started service in December, the 110-megawatt battery portion hadn't been put into service yet. Now, officials say it's powering the energy grid.
