Closing the gap
While renewable energy generation is important to advance clean energy, storing it is crucial to its reliability. Eversource’ s Outer
Cape Battery Energy Storage System( BESS) in Provincetown, Massachusetts, is part of ongoing efforts to modernize the electric system and provide backup electricity during power outages. The battery is always connected to the grid, ready to provide power to around 11,000 customers within moments of an outage.
