FPL commissions Lansing Smith battery storage in Florida

Florida Power & Light Company has announced the commissioning of its Lansing Smith Battery Energy Storage System in Bay County, Florida.

• The standalone, grid-connected facility is FPL’s largest battery energy storage system and can supply 400 MW for up to four hours, providing 1,600 MWh of stored energy.
• The site was developed on land that previously served as a coal storage area; FPL says the addition brings its total battery energy storage capacity to nearly 2 GW across its system.
