Energy Storage Systems Added to Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation’s Service Territory
Lockheed Martin and Cypress Creek Renewables have commissioned 12 MWh of GridStar Lithium energy storage systems for 12 solar-plus-storage projects that will provide clean electricity to communities served by Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation, a North Carolina cooperative (“Brunswick EMC”). Lockheed Martin’s GridStar technology ensures that this electricity is rapidly dispatchable, which allows Brunswick EMC to avoid peaking costs and pass the savings to its member-owners in Brunswick and Columbus Counties. These storage projects will provide solar energy to Brunswick EMC’s members and compound the value by delivering the energy exactly when needed.
