Borrego Solar Systems, a leading developer, designer, installer and O&M provider of solar and energy storage systems today announces it has received a $700,000 energy storage grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) for a 2 megawatt/4.2 megawatt-hour lithium-ion battery storage project with BELD. The energy storage will be installed at one of BELDs substations, which will reduce energy and transmission capacity costs for BELD and its ratepayers. The project also seeks to demonstrate the ability of energy storage to enable more intermittent renewable generation and defer traditional distribution system investment in addition to advancing an innovate “community storage” model.
