Lockheed Martin installs GridStar Lithium energy storage system at Syracuse facility

Lockheed Martin recently installed a one-megawatt GridStar Lithium energy storage system at its Syracuse, New York, facility, which will provide storage for the company’s operations as well as the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO).
 
"We provide turn-key energy storage solutions for a variety of utilities, independent power producers, commercial and industrial customers and developers," Lockheed Martin Energy Vice President Frank Armijo said. "As we provide customers with advanced energy solutions, we're pleased also to implement them at our own facilities to further our affordability and sustainability goals."
 
The system, which will be operated by ENGIE, will allow Lockheed Martin to save energy costs and increase its energy efficiency, forwarding the company’s sustainability goals.
 
"This project is a great opportunity to combine multiple capabilities in the growing market for decentralized energy management," ENGIE North America Director of Energy Storage Jason Goodhand said. "By pairing Lockheed Martin's system with our Green Charge subsidiary's advanced, patented software as well as ENGIE's experience in scheduling and dispatching power, we bring together a powerful solution that supports Lockheed Martin's goals and enhances the flexibility and resiliency of the broader power grid of the New York ISO."
