Capacity-constrained area will benefit from availability of additional energy during peak demand times in colder months; facility went operational Jan. 20
BALTIMORE- BGE customers in southern Anne Arundel County and parts of Calvert County will experience enhanced service reliability from additional capacity made available for the area’s constrained electric distribution system by a new battery storage facility that became operational Jan. 20.
Located in Chesapeake Beach, the 1 MW/2 MWh battery charges at times of low demand and discharges energy back onto the grid when demand is highest-specifically during colder months. Shifting load in this manner reduces overall peak demand, which can in turn reduce strain on the electric grid and enhance system reliability.
This project is one of the significant Path to Clean investments BGE is making to lead Maryland to a cleaner, more…
