Form Energy To Supply 15 MW/1500 MWh Battery To Georgia Power
is a battery startup founded by Mateo Jaramillo, who left Tesla several years ago to focus on long duration energy storage. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to transitioning to renewable energy is the problem of intermittency. A nuclear or coal-fired generating station can make electricity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for decades. That makes the electricity they create dispatchable — which means it will be there, ready to go, whenever there’s a demand.
“As we continue to build Georgia’s clean energy future, battery storage systems play a vital role in how we will continue to serve our customers with clean, reliable energy for decades to come. That’s why partnerships with innovators like Form Energy are so important to our long-term strategy,” said Kim Greene, Georgia Power chairman.
Integrating battery energy storage systems into the power grid requires extensive planning and analysis.and Georgia Power will continue to fully evaluate and demonstrate that the 100-hour iron-air battery technology will strengthen Georgia’s electric grid against normal day-to-day, week-to-week, and season-to-season weather variability, in addition to extreme weather events.
Georgia Power provides electricity to 2.7 million customers in all but 4 of Georgia’s 159 counties. In 2022, the Georgia Public Service Commission approved its long term energy plan, which includes its largest single battery energy storage system to date — the 265 MW lithium-ion McGrau Ford Battery facility located in Cherokee County, as well as an additional 500 MW of battery storage.
