The boom in the deployment of various solar-related projects — notably, utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) — requiring right-of
The evolving landscape of renewable energy and the increasing demand for reliable energy storage solutions have led to greater interest in battery storage projects across the United States. As a landowner, the prospect of leasing and making money from your land for battery storage might be an enticing opportunity.
According to Convergent, the land use requirements for utility-scale lithium-ion battery storage system is about 0.02 acres per MWh of storage capacity, depending on factors such as the battery chemistry, the size of the system, and the location of the installation. This is small compared to the 4 – 7 acres per MW that are required for solar PV.
Battery energy storage systems can help support grid stability by providing a fast response time in the frequency control market. Frequency is the measure of the speed at which alternating current (AC) changes direction, and it must be kept within a given range, normally 50 or 60 Hertz to ensure the stability of the grid.
