The battery system deployments will focus on increasing resiliency at critical infrastructure in rural locations that include military bases, and at remote and low-income communities. Military installations across the country are pursuing battery energy storage systems in order to ensure mission assurance and meet their resiliency requirements.
More than 10% of NRECA’s membership serves a military installation. Electric cooperatives proudly serve over 125 military facilities in 41 states across the United States.
Electric cooperatives anticipate that battery energy storage will be a key technology addition to maintain reliable and affordable electric service throughout rural America.
