MN8 Energy, Eos Energy Enterprises and Google have announced a joint project in West Virginia, US, that aims to deliver new clean energy resources to the PJM grid, supporting increasing demand in the region.
The development will combine 86MW of utility-scale solar, 70MW/280MWh of lithium-ion energy storage and 10MW/100MWh of Eos' zinc-based long-duration energy storage (LDES).
MN8 will own and operate the facility, which is planned to support Google's data centres in the area, including a project slated for West Virginia.
The solar component of the project is planned to begin commercial operations in 2028, with lithium-ion storage expected in 2029 and long-duration storage following in 2030.
MN8 has designed the Mammoth Solar project in Kanawha County as an integrated system, pairing both short and long-duration storage to convert intermittent renewable energy into a dispatchable source. This development becomes West Virginia's first commercial-scale deployment of LDES.
