Azure Sky wind + storage, US
Name of the Project
Azure Sky wind + storage.
Location
Throckmorton County, Texas, in the US.
Project Owner/s
Enel Green Power North America, a subsidiary of Enel.
Project Description
Azure Sky is Enel’s first large-scale hybrid project globally to integrate wind and battery storage at one site.
The 350 MW wind farm will be paired with about 137 MW of battery storage.
Azure Sky will comprise 79 wind turbines that are expected to generate more than
1 300 GWh/y, which will be delivered to the grid and charge the battery located in the same facility.
The expected electricity generated by the Azure Sky project every year is equivalent to avoiding the emission of more than 842 000 t/y of carbon dioxide.
The battery storage system will be capable of storing the power generated by the wind turbines while providing services to enhance grid flexibility.
At about 137 MW, the system will be one of the biggest battery storage facilities in the world.
