The Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) has awarded a $30,700,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Wisconsin Power And Light Company, a subsidiary of Alliant Energy Corporation, to demonstrate an 18MW grid-tied compressed CO2 energy storage system at a retiring coal-fired power plant in Pardeeville, Wisconsin. This project, known as the "Columbia Energy Storage Project," represents the first-of-its-kind demonstration of this advanced energy storage technology in the United States. The funding will support the deployment and validation of this innovative solution, which aims to enhance grid reliability and promote the integration of sustainable energy sources.
