Emma Penrod of Utility Dive reports that Ambri is partnering with Xcel Energy.
- Ambri, a startup that was founded at MIT, develops antimony-based batteries.
- These batteries do not require cooling or access to rare earth metals and last longer than their lithium-ion counterparts.
- Utility provider Xcel Energy has partnered with Ambri to use its liquid battery at a solar demonstration project in Aurora, Colorado.
- If successful, this project could pave the way for Ambri’s technology to be used at a larger scale.
“Ambri is aiming to pilot its system with five additional partners while simultaneously developing standardized 1 MWh containerized battery units, which the company hopes to begin shipping to customers by 2025, Briggs said.”
