Georgia Electric Energy Storage Container

In that filing, Georgia Power signaled its intention to solicit bids for more storage- another 500 MW- in the near future. Battery energy storage projects are popping up all over the U.S., which added nearly 4 GW of storage capacity in the second quarter of this year alone, according to a recent report.

The 1.2 MW, 4 MWh Reservoir Storage Unit, is the fundamental building block of GE's Reservoir platform. It is a modular solution that integrates GE's Battery Blade design (module stack design) with key technologies from across the company's portfolio to achieve an industry-leading energy density, footprint and lifetime performance.

GE's Reservoir Platform… Cleaner, more reliable power where and when it's needed most. GE's Reservoir platform, developed with innovative technology from GE's Global Research Center, is a flexible, compact energy storage solution for AC or DC coupled systems.

Earlier this month, Georgia Power Company submitted its 2023 Integrated Resource Plan Update (2023 IRP Update) to the Georgia Public Service Commission, which includes an Application for Certification for four battery energy storage systems totaling 500 MW.

GE's Reservoir platform leverages Predix and Edge controls technologies to provide data-driven insights that help energy operators enhance their systems. These digital technologies leverage GE's unique and unparalleled technical and industry domain knowledge across the entire energy ecosystem from generation to consumption.

Eric Gebhardt, Vice President and Strategic Technology Officer of GE Power, said, “GE's Reservoir platform enables cost-effective distribution, storage, and utilization of cleaner, more reliable power where and when it is needed most. It can fit into most any setting, from centralized grid systems to the most remote villages and communities.
