GA Power Eyeing 15 MW/1,500 MWh Long-Duration Storage Project w/Form Energy

CORRECTION – Vestas rolled out 15 MW platform last year; now going into testing phase

Georgia Power eyes 15MW/1,500 MWh long-duration iron-air battery project w/Form Energy; Siemens and Ford roll out bidirectional charging station for homes; GM ups 2022/23 EV output targets from 7,000 to 46,000; US Depts of Transportation and Energy offering $5 billion to states for national EV charging network; CAISO facing interconnection tsunami, w/605 projects totaling 236,225 MW; Auxin Solar requested the US DOC to investigate Chinese cell/module dumping via SE Asia; Vestas to test 15MW turbine w/115 meter blade.

1) Georgia Power plans to install Form Energy’s long-duration iron-air battery in 15 MW/1,500 MWh project with 100 hours of duration

2) Siemens Ford collaborate on bidirectional charging station w/peak power rating of 19.2 kW, w/separate feeds for EV charging and powering home.

3) GM raises 2022/23 EV manufacturing targets, from 7,000 to 46,000 units & deliver a total 400,000 by end of 2023.

4) US Depts of Transportation and Energy offering $5 billion in funding to states building out national EV charging network along specific Alternative Fuel Corridors. Amount in FY 2022 is $615 million.

5) CAISA swamped with interconnection requests totaling 605 projects at 236,225 MW, comments, this amount “creates barriers to moving forward effectively.”

6) Auxin Solar petitions US DOC to investigate potential circumvention of duties, w/assemblers of crystal silicon PV cells and modules in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia using Chinese-affiliated suppliers.

7) Vestas ready to test its V236-15.0 MW turbine with 115-meter blade.
