HOUSTON and PLYMOUTH, N.H., May 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- New Hampshire Electric Cooperative (NHEC) announced the completion of its first utility scale energy storage project. The 2.45 megawatt (MW) battery project was developed in partnership with ENGIE North America (ENGIE), a leading provider of energy storage services. ENGIE will own and operate the battery unit, which is located on the site of NHEC's 2 MW solar array in Moultonborough, NH. The battery unit will charge from NHEC's distribution system during times of low demand and discharge during periods of peak regional electricity use. By discharging during hours of peak electric usage, the battery will save NHEC's members money on regional market and delivery charges while reducing demand on the grid.
