Ten years in utility-scale solar and storage: technical design, modelling and project coordination. Approximately 2,000 MW of solar delivered.
Most recently, development-stage battery storage in South Carolina totalling 5.28 GWh — an 800 MW / 3,200 MWh site in Marlboro County and a 520 MW / 2,080 MWh site in Darlington County, both on Duke Energy Progress corridors where the utility's transmission upgrade estimate exceeded $238 million. Rather than wait in a queue that was not moving, the projects were sized to relieve the constraint instead of adding to it. One reached a signed interconnection agreement.
That problem — connection as the binding constraint rather than a procedural step — is now Europe's problem too.
