Fractal has Won $12M in Utility Grants for Clients to Date
Energy Storage and Solar+Storage Projects
In 2018, Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant (TMLP) was awarded a $1.25 million grant as part of the Baker-Polito Administration’s Energy Storage Initiative (ESI) Advancing Commonwealth Energy Storage (ACES) program, funded by the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and administered by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC). TMLP received the grant to build a 1.5 MW battery storage system to be co-located with their existing 105 MW power plant and 1.5 MW of planned solar PV. This will assist in mitigating both capacity and transmission costs thereby providing savings for the rate payer. It also further enhances their ability to pursue a more reliable, clean, resilient and affordable energy portfolio. Fractal performed the initial analysis, grant application preparation and procurement. Fractal is currently providing OE services. The project is currently under construction. Read More
In 2017, Fractal Energy Storage Consultants was selected as the primary energy storage consultant to support the energy storage system test bed for Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA), a statutory board under the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Singapore and SP Group, a leading energy utility company in Asia Pacific. Fractal initially provided CW Group Ltd. Pte. with technical design, financial analysis and proposal preparation, who was then contracted by EMA and SP Group to implement a 2.4 MW / 2.4 MWh battery energy storage system. The energy storage capacity will support Singapore’s use of solar power by providing energy reserves and reducing peak demand. It will also assist EMA and SP Group to evaluate the performance of ESS technologies in the country’s hot and humid climate, its impact on the electricity grid, and to establish future guidelines for ESS deployments. Fractal also proposed an ancillary market redesign to remove barrier to storage adoption, encourage foreign investment and stimulate economic development. Read More
In January 2017, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) announced the award recipients for their New Technology Implementation Grant (NTIG) Program. Pedernales Electric Cooperative was awarded $1.5 million of the total $3.5 million of grant funds available for energy storage projects. The project integrates a 2 MW-4 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system located near the newly installed Johnson City solar photovoltaic array in Texas. Fractal performed the initial feasibility study, grant application preparation and procurement. Fractal is currently providing OE services. The project is now in operations. Read More
In January 2016, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) announced the award recipients for their New Technology Implementation Grant (NTIG) Program. The grant supports the implementation of new technologies that will reduce the emissions from facilities and other stationary sources in Texas. CPS Energy was successfully awarded $3 million of the total $3.5 million of grant funds available, which will kick off the Solar+Storage program. The project integrated a 5MW /10 MWh lithium-ion BESS with 5 MW of Solar PV located at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas. Fractal performed the initial feasibility study, grant application preparation and procurement. Fractal is currently providing OE services. The project is now in operations. Read More
