AMRC - Redflow and Ameresco to deploy microgrid for United States Department of Defense | Benzinga
BRISBANE, Australia, Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Redflow Limited (ASX: RFX), a global leader in clean energy storage, and Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE:AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, are pleased to announce that Redflow has signed a US$2.83 million contract with the United States Department of Defense's (DOD) Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to deliver a prototype microgrid using a 1.2 to 1.4 MWh Redflow long duration energy storage (LDES) system.
Redflow will partner with Ameresco as their subcontracted engineering to deliver the microgrid project. The project, which aims to extend the duration of energy storage for existing installations, will repower a solar-powered microgrid currently located at the Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York state.
The repowered microgrid project scope will integrate Redflow's 1.2 – 1.4 MWh LDES solution, enabling the microgrid to provide a dispatchable solar + storage resource for peak shaving and energy resilience.
Redflow's solution will demonstrate scalable flow batteries at MWh scale and restore microgrid-controllable renewables at a military industrial scale for integration for the Air Force base, with the objective of delivering a stronger base of power for improved returns on existing investments to enhance resilience.
This project comes from Redflow's selection for participation in DIU's Extended Duration Storage for Installations program. The ...
