Solar Industry | March 26, 2018
Lockheed Martin and Cypress Creek Renewables have commissioned 12 MWh of GridStar lithium energy storage systems for 12 solar-plus-storage projects in North Carolina. According to the partners, the solar-plus-storage will provide clean electricity to communities served by Brunswick Electric Membership Corp. (EMC) in southeastern North Carolina. Lockheed Martin says its GridStar technology ensures that this power is rapidly dispatchable, allowing Brunswick EMC to avoid peaking costs and pass the savings to its member-owners in Brunswick and Columbus counties, as well as small areas of Robeson and Bladen counties.
