The University of Massachusetts (UMass) Boston. signed an agreement with energy services business Enel X to install solar, lithium-ion storage, and. electric vehicle charging stations on campus. This project calls for a 1-megawatt solar photovoltaic. facility UMass Boston Taps integrated with a 0.5-MW/2.0-MWh lithium-ion energy storage system, and 11 of Enel X’s JuiceBox. electric vehicle smart charging stations. It’s all expected to be operational by the first half of next year. according to Enel X, which will purchase, install, and operate the system on the university’s behalf.

Solar is designing and developing the 1-MW rooftop0 solar facility in partnership with Enel X. The system should Italy Phone Number Data generate around 1.2 gigawatt hours annually. Integrating the solar with a lithium-ion energy storage system means. UMass will be able to generate and store renewable energy that can be used when electricity costs. are highest, reducing the university’s energy costs by more than $1.5 million over the length of the. contract, Enel X said. In addition, the project’s enrollment in the Solar Massachusetts Renewable. Target (SMART) program’s Feed-in-Tariff and participation in ISO New England’s demand response program should provide shared economic benefits for UMass Boston and Enel X.

Department of Energy Resources and electric utilities. in the state, the SMART program incentivizes solar power and creates opportunities for C&I energy. users to integrate solar plus storage systems, Enel X explained. The energy storage business Estonia Phone Number List added that ISO New England’s program pays large energy consumers. to reduce their electricity consumption in response to grid system needs. “This innovative collaboration. with Enel X will enable us to take the campus to the next level by generating and storing energy in a fashion. that minimizes our costs and maximizes the value of the solar energy we generate on the rooftop. said UMass Boston Interim Chancellor Katherine Newman.
