Pier 21 silo retrofit for long-duration grid energy storage

Repurpose Pier 21 grain silos as energy storage for grid hardening and resiliency

Retrofit the abandoned grain silos at Pier 21 for long-duration energy storage to service the congested electrical grid. A thorough technoeconomic evaluation, structural inspection, and environmental and safety assessment will identify a suitable energy storage technology for the silos. The energy storage will provide grid hardening by relieving grid congestion during daytime hours, and releasing energy overnight and during storm events to provide a local and reliable energy source for the harbor businesses.
