Project Overview
Storing Tomorrow’s Energy, Today
Battery Energy Storage Systems can store energy including but not limited to renewable energy and deploy it to the energy grid when it is needed most. This outdoor facility will use containerized batteries.
Project Site
Quonset Business Park, North Kingstown
GDQ ESS is located on approximately ten acres of land off Callahan Road in North Kingstown within Quonset Business Park close to the sea cable landing of Revolution Wind and close to transmission power lines. The site is previously disturbed through decades of naval and industrial use. It is the ideal site for a Battery Energy Storage System.
The system will utilize containerized batteries, which are safe, reliable, and minimally disruptive to residents and the natural environment.
There is currently a North Kingstown Fire Station on a portion of the site. GDQ ESS will construct a new fire station prior to constructing a battery storage facility. The new Station will be located at the corner of Commerce Park Road of Roger Williams Way.
