About

The proposed Energy Storage project is a 170 MW battery energy storage system located in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. The project is in the ISO-NE interconnection queue as queue ID ISO-NE-877, with an interconnection queue entry date of April 11, 2019. The proposed commercial operation date is July 26, 2027, and the interconnection agreement has been executed.

The point of interconnection is National Grid's South Wrentham 115kV substation. The Energy Storage project has been the subject of recent news coverage, with four articles categorized as regulatory matters.

Development Risk

Realization risk from now to commercial operation — financing close, EPC and tax-equity counterparty mix, and COD probability vs the proposed date. The diligence view that determines whether the deal actually closes. Powered by InfraSure's development-stage modeling stack.
