First Liquid Air Energy Storage System Planned for USA

Located in northern Vermont, the plant will have a total capacity of 50MW and will provide an excess storage of eight hours (400MWh). The project is the first of many utility-scale, liquid air energy storage facilities Highview Power plans to develop across the US to help increase the deployment of renewable energies. The facility will help solve the energy transmission problems surrounding the state's Sheffield-Highgate Export Interface and allow efficient transmission of excess power from renewable sources, such as solar and wind power. In addition to providing clean, reliable and cost-effective energy storage, the facility will also provide transmission system services to the area to help integrate renewable energy, stabilize the regional electrical grid, and ensure future energy security during disruptions.
