Overview
Energy Dome and Salt River Project are collaborating on a 19-MW, 10-hour compressed CO2 battery storage project at the Coronado Generating Station in Arizona, a site transitioning from coal to natural gas. The project, expected online in 2029, is supported by Google to promote non-lithium-ion long-duration energy storage solutions. By repurposing existing fossil fuel infrastructure, the project aims to reduce interconnection delays and enhance grid flexibility to better integrate renewable energy sources.
