Form Energy To Build World’s Largest Battery Energy Storage System In Maine
Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News!. There are a lot of new battery technologies out there vying for a piece of the battery storage pie. Originally, traditional NMC battery cells were used to make battery energy storage systems (BESS), but today LFP batteries have become the preferred choice because they cost less and minimize the risk of thermal runaway events, which is the polite way of saying “fires” if you are a public relations professional. But whichever battery technology is used, it can only supply electricity back to the grid for about four hours. Form Energy, headed by former Tesla engineer Matteo Jaramillo, is making batteries that can keep on supplying the grid for up to 100 hours. Now it says it will build an 85 MW/8500 MWh battery storage system on the site of a former paper mill near Bangor, Maine.

Rockland class marks 70th reunion
ROCKPORT — Ben Perry never intended to lead reunions for his high school class. He simply heard wrong. One day in the early sixties, he happened to be sitting in the back of a meeting as elections were held for officers. When he heard the speaker ask for someone to stay after and help clean, he raised his hand and said, “I’ll do it.” His name was announced to the group. Someone made a motion, and then a second to the nomination. From that day on, as Class President, he’s been inviting his classmates to gather with him in celebration of the Rockland District High School Class of 1954; the first reunion was held in 1964.
