Google partners with MN8 Energy and Eos Energy Enterprises on the Mammoth Solar project in West Virginia, combining 86MW solar, 10MW/100MWh zinc-based long-duration energy storage (LDES), and 70MW/280MWh lithium-ion battery storage, marking the first commercial-scale LDES deployment in the state, expected online by 2030.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a new route to grid-scale long-duration storage via Google's backing of zinc-based LDES in West Virginia. This opens opportunities for building tech and supply chains around non-lithium storage as demand for clean baseload power grows.
