The battery energy storage system we plan to construct at the Golden Plains Wind Farm in Kossuth County, Iowa, will store up to 75 megawatts of energy, enough to power about 80,000 homes for four hours.
How does battery storage work?
Battery storage systems charge from the grid when energy demand is low or directly from wind or solar projects when excess renewable energy is abundant. They then release this energy as needed when demand increases, such as on hot summer or cold winter days.
