The University of South Carolina (USC) was awarded a $11,595,140 Project Grant by the Economic Development Administration (EDA) under the Regional Technology and Innovation Hubs program (CFDA 11.039). The grant will enable USC, in collaboration with Fraunhofer and Siemens, to design and install a pilot manufacturing line at the USC Columbia campus. This line will enable testing and commercialization of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) technologies to support grid resilience. The project will also create a digital analog of the physical line, provide smaller scale manufacturers access to the infrastructure, and develop curriculum and training programs for battery design, manufacturing, and technician roles. The project aims to accelerate the supply of domestically produced grid-scale battery technologies and the workforce necessary to deploy them, positioning South Carolina as a global hub for these technologies within 10 years.
