Alliant Energy Announces Utility-Scale Battery Installations at Solar Farms in Wood, Grant Counties

Alliant Energy plans to build its first utility-scale battery storage systems at solar farms in Grant County. On Friday, Alliant Energy announced plans for lithium ion phosphate batteries that will provide a combined 175 megawatts of storage, enough to power 180-thousand homes. The batteries will allow Alliant Energy to manage power distribution by storing energy at night when energy use is low and release it during the day when demand is higher.
