Batteries for the Grid: Why Chemistry Matters

March 26, 2024/in Advice/Education, Events

Flux XIIBattery energy storage is needed to support economical and reliable renewable energy, but are we just trading national dependence on dirty fossil fuels for a reliance on limited foreign minerals?

On Friday, March 29 at 12:00pm we invited Patrick Sullivan of Flux XII (one of our newest members), to talk about battery chemistry, what materials are being used in batteries today and frameworks to assess their societal impacts, such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In this webinar, Patrick walked through which battery asset features the chemistry impacts (spoiler, it’s almost everything!), shared some challenges for developing more sustainable grid-scale batteries, and how they are tackling those challenges for long-term global benefits.

See webinar recording.

Cave of the Mounds Solar Ribbon Cutting

October 10, 2023/in Events

Tuesday, October 24: 2:30-3:30pm

Cave of the Mounds is hosting a Solar Ribbon Cutting Event on Tuesday, October 24th, 2023 at 2:30pm. Join us at 2975 Cave of the Mounds Rd, Blue Mounds, WI for a tour of the system. In 2023, Cave of the Mounds contracted with Eagle Point Solar and Oiemoen Electric to install a 43.7kW (kilowatt) ground-mounted solar array to the northeast of their campus. The current location and design were decided upon after several renditions with consulting help from Legacy Solar Co-op.

Completed in September, the array is expected to offset electricity use at the Cave Entrance Building and Visitor’s Center for about 50% of the organization’s total electricity use annually. This new addition to Cave of the Mounds is a testament to their stewardship of the planet, decreasing their carbon footprint and saving them money in the process.

No registration required. We hope to see you there!
