RES

Renewable Energy Systems Americas Inc. (RES Americas) has announced tow grid scale energy storage projects outside of Chicago that, once completed next year, will be the largest, fully commercial energy storage projects in North America. RES Americas will develop and construct the two 19.8 MW energy storage systems, each having the ability to store 7.8 MWh of energy. The first project, Elwood Energy Storage Center, will be located on Pilsen Road, West Chicago and the second project, Jake Energy Storage Center, will be located on Brandon Road in Joliet. Construction is expected to begin on both projects this winter with completion by August next year. The projects are expected to operate for at least 10 years. RES Americas acquired the projects during the development phase from Glidepath Power in September this year.

Victor Babbitt, RES America, Vice President of Energy Storage said, ‘the Jake and Elwood Energy Storage Centers represent commercial installations of cutting edge energy storage technology. These projects will increase the reliability and quality of ComEd’s grid in these communities which, in turn, may help attract new business that demands a high quality and reliable electricity supply. We are excited to work with our host communities in the cities Joliet and West Chicago to make these high tech projects a reality.’
