First 20 MW Plant - Construction
The world's first grid-scale, flywheel-based energy storage plant is being built in Stephentown, New York. When completed, the 20 MW plant will operate continuously, storing and returning energy to the grid to provide approximately 10% of New York's overall frequency regulation needs. More information on the frequency regulation service and how Beacon Power flywheels provide it can be found here.
May 2010 - Construction of the Stephentown 20 MW frequency regulation plant is fully under way. These pictures show the work being done to install the first 50 flywheel foundation cylinders (ultimately there will be 200). Work on the project will continue through 2010 and into 2011, when the facility is expected to be complete.
