AES Energy Storage has built the largest lithium-ion battery in the world in less than six months for utility San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), and might now take the first steps towards more grid-scale systems being built.

“To go from something that we thought of as kind of the future technology to, all of a sudden, it coming to the rescue so quickly – yeah, I think that’s a huge success story,” said John Zahurancik, president of AES Energy Storage.

The system’s batteries can almost instantaneously deliver power to the local grid if needed.
