The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity has authorized NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMAD) to advance into Phase 3 of the approximately $19 million Vermont Long Duration Energy Storage Demonstration Project. This milestone moves the project into installation, integration, and construction, marking a critical step in demonstrating the viability of transportable battery energy storage systems for grid resilience.
The project, supported by a $9.5 million DOE award and an approximately 50% non-federal cost share, will deploy up to eight NOMAD transportable battery energy storage systems across five sites in Green Mountain Power’s Vermont service territory. This deployment aims to showcase how mobile energy storage can provide flexible, rapid-response power solutions for utilities and other critical infrastructure.
NOMAD’s patented platform is designed to be moved among locations to support peak management, emergency response, maintenance, renewable energy integration, and other grid-resilience applications. Green Mountain Power has already utilized an existing NOMAD system for peak management and to maintain service to commercial customers during planned utility maintenance, underscoring the practical benefits of this technology.
Phase 3 will incorporate the company’s latest platform, including next-generation lithium iron phosphate batteries and microgrid-enabled controls. This advanced configuration is intended to demonstrate that transportable energy storage can serve as a reliable and flexible resource for utilities, helping to manage evolving grid challenges.
The advancement into Phase 3 is significant for NOMAD Power Solutions as it validates the commercial application of its technology and positions the company to expand its footprint in the energy storage market. With the growing need for grid modernization and resilience, the successful deployment of this project could pave the way for broader adoption of mobile battery storage across North America.
