US PV firm starts energy-storage unit
Borrego Solar, the US solar-development company, has set up an energy-storage division for MW-scale deployments in the US. This will be the company's first formal expansion into energy services beyond solar photovoltaics.
US solar development company Borrego Solar has launched a new energy storage division to focus on MW-scale deployments across the US.

The Massachusetts, US, based division marks the company’s first formal expansion into energy services beyond solar photovoltaics (PV).

The division will focus on the long-duration energy storage, said the company’s CEO Mike Hall.

Adding, the company will now be supporting utilities across the US in the development and installation of MW-scale energy storage systems for integration with renewables and peak-load management.

The company will be offering both standalone energy storage solutions and storage integrated with solar PV.

Borrego Solar’s executive vice president of strategy and business development, Dan Berwick will lead the new division.

He said: “As climate change becomes an increasingly present danger, and the need to decarbonise our electricity system more immediate, the distributed energy marketplace will demand greater amounts of flexible energy storage. We’re now prepared to meet that need.”
