Updated. Power company AES has been experimenting with using lithium-ion batteries (large forms of those found in your laptop and mobile phone) as energy storage for the power grid, and currently has several pilot projects underway. But now AES tells me it?s in the process of scaling up its lithium-ion grid battery projects to a commercial size, and by the third quarter of this year, plans to start operating a 32 MW lithium-ion battery project in conjunction with grid operator PJM in West Virginia.


That 32 MW li-on battery project could be one of the largest of its kind in the world when built. AES Energy Storage?s VP, Deployment and Operations, John Zahurancik, told me in an interview this week that AES?s 12 MW lithium-ion battery grid storage project in Chile (see photo below) was the largest of its kind when that was built. AES also has a 40 MW lithium-ion battery project in the pipeline in Texas. read full story
