World’s biggest battery coming to Maine — and it could store 130 million times more energy than your laptop

Date:

An energy start-up plans to build the world’s biggest battery in Lincoln, Maine, to help ease stresses on the region’s power grid. The project is being funded by the Department of Energy, which is putting $147 million in grants toward constructing the ambitious energy storage solution.

If the current plans remain unchanged, the battery will be capable of storing 8,500 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy, representatives of Form Energy, the company behind the project, said in a statement Aug. 6.
