Co-sponsored by: University of Washington – Seattle Agenda: Snohomish County PUD – Recently created a new department which will focus on clean energy technologies to help prepare for the future. The new department is called Energy Storage and Emerging Technologies and is just 10 months old. Our first big projects will be the state’s largest battery energy storage system – a 25MW/100MWh lithium-ion battery located in Arlington, Washington -and – a microgrid with the Tulalip Tribes which will utilize solar and lithium Ion battery storage. These new systems are needed to provide carbon-free generation capacity to meet load growth due to electrification of buildings and transportation, an ever-increasing population, colder winters, and hotter summers. We use to add generation and/or capacity with gas fired peaking plants -but- the Washington Clean Energy Transformation Act – CETA – is requiring that Washington electric utilities be 100% carbon free by 2045. During the past 10 years the PUD has constructed and operated a 2MW lithium-ion battery storage system, a 2MW vanadium flow battery and a microgrid that included stationary and mobile energy storage (V2G – Vehicle-to-grid) .
