Dominion Energy Virginia Seeks Information on Long-Duration Energy Storage Technology for Pilot Program
Dominion Energy Virginia is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for information on long-duration energy storage technologies that might be suitable for participation in a pilot program.
As defined by Virginia legislation, long-duration energy storage refers to technology that has 10 or more hours of storage duration when operating at full nameplate capacity.
At least three different technologies could be chosen to participate in the pilot program, which will have an expected capacity of at least 4,000 megawatt-hours. The program is intended to evaluate long-duration energy storage technologies that can support electric grid reliability, renewable energy integration, and compliance with the Virginia Clean Economy Act.
Interested companies are asked to contact [email protected] to participate and submit responses to the RFI. Companies will have six weeks from Friday, June 26, to submit responses, with a deadline of Aug. 7.
The RFI will request entities to provide clear and accurate information about:
- Their company and business model
- The long-duration energy storage technology at issue
- Deployments of the technology to date
- The technology’s pathway and timeline to commercial deployment
- The technology’s scalability and capacity
- Siting and infrastructure requirements
- Supply chain and material sourcing
The RFI does not represent a commitment to procure, partner, or invest.
The program will support local jobs, increase spending in local communities, and bring in new tax revenue for local governments.
