8minutenergy Expands Into Energy Storage with 1GW Project

8minutenergy Renewables announced that  it has expanded into the energy storage market with a 1 GW project. The company is focused on standalone storage and hybrid (solar PV + storage) systems  led by its storage leadership team.

8minutenergy’s VP of Storage Solutions, Steve McKenery said that utilities and corporations nationwide are looking for reliable, cost-competitive clean energy solutions. Solar PV and energy storage are poised to meet this demand while delivering strong returns. Not only can storage improve project economics, but it can also make renewable power dispatchable – that’s a clear win for the future of clean energy.

8minutenergy’s VP of Storage Integration, Carl Stills said that having worked closely with the largest utilities in America for the past few decades allows them to uniquely understand their customers’ needs and system requirements. They are working on storage solutions that are already cost-competitive across the board, improve energy yield, and maximize renewable incentives. Now with fully dispatchable renewable energy, they can complement any existing utility portfolio.
