Starplus Energy, a joint venture between Stellantis and Samsung SDI, finalized its $7. 54 billion loan from the Department of Energy to build two lithium-ion battery plants in Kokomo, Indiana, the agency announced Tuesday.
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) secures electrical energy from renewable and non-renewable sources and collects and saves it in rechargeable batteries for use at a later date. When energy is needed, it is released from the BESS to power demand to lessen any disparity between energy demand and energy generation.
At full capacity, the StarPlus project will produce about 67 GWh of batteries, enough to supply approximately 670,000 vehicles annually. The project will greatly expand EV battery manufacturing capacity in North America and reduce America's reliance on foreign nations like China for sourcing EV batteries.
Biden brought the program back in 2022 with a $2.5 billion loan to a joint venture of General Motors and LG Energy Solution to help fund the construction of a new lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility.

Ahead and heading into a new era for new energy, it is expected that China's energy storage capacity and its BESS capacity in particular will grow at a CAGR rate of 44% between 2023 and 2027. Finally, BESS development financing globally thus far has stemmed from various sources: funds, corporate funds, institutional investors, or bank financing.
His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. The Department of Energy preliminarily approved another loan to help fund the construction of electric vehicle battery factories in the US. This time, a joint venture between Stellantis and Samsung SDI will receive $7.54 billion to build two EV battery plants in Kokomo, Indiana.
Ottawa BESS 2 is a proposed up to 75 Mega-Watt (“MW”) lithium-ion battery storage Project located at 2393 8th Line Road, Ottawa, ON, K0A 2P0, under development by Ottawa BESS 2 Limited Partnership.
In 2025, the City of Ottawa established official plan and zoning provisions for battery energy storage uses in accordance with new Official Plan policy. BESS is an emerging technology using batteries and associated equipment to store excess energy from the electrical grid, which can then discharge energy in periods of high demand.
This post has been updated with a comment from Evolugen's Geoff Wright. A proposed 250-megawatt battery storage project in Ottawa's rural west is down but not out, after the city's Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) voted unanimously last week to reject the plan.
BESSes are already approved or under construction in Jarvis, Napanee and Spencerville. In Ottawa, a 150-megawatt battery-storage project for Trail Road has received municipal approval, but a 250-megawatt project by Evolugen for Fitzroy Harbour is facing pushback from some community members. Why Battery Energy Storage Systems?
This represented the largest energy storage procurement ever in Canada. A report was tabled at the November 30, 2023 Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee on four proposed BESS projects within Ottawa, one of which project received Council support, known as a Municipal Support Resolution (MSR).
Trail Road Battery Energy Storage Systems is a 150 MW battery storage project with 600 MWh of energy storage, located in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. Evolugen has partnered with AOPFN to develop, own and operate both the Fitzroy and Trail Road BESS projects.
City approval is being sought for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) near Dunrobin. A map posted on the website of Evolugen shows the location of the proposed South March Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at 2555 and 2625 Marchurst Rd. near Dubrobin. Photo by EVOLUGEN / HANDOUT

In response to this challenge, this article proposes an innovative grid connected frequency regulation control algorithm that innovatively integrates particle swarm optimization (PSO) and deep learning (DL) techniques, aiming to significantly improve the frequency stability of EPS through the active participation of energy storage systems.
This paper proposes a coordinated frequency regulation strategy for grid-forming (GFM) type-4 wind turbine (WT) and energy storage system (ESS) controlled by DC voltage synchronous control (DVSC), where the ESS consists of a battery array, enabling the power balance of WT and ESS hybrid system in both grid-connected (GC) and stand-alone (SA) modes.
The frequency regulation power optimization framework for multiple resources is proposed. The cost, revenue, and performance indicators of hybrid energy storage during the regulation process are analyzed. The comprehensive efficiency evaluation system of energy storage by evaluating and weighing methods is established.
Grid-connected Energy Storage System (ESS) can provide various ancillary services to electrical networks for its smooth functioning and helps in the evolution of the smart grid. The main limitation of the wide implementation of ESS in the power system is the high cost, low life, low energy density, etc.
To compensate for the mismatch of generation-load, an advanced energy storage system is proposed in the paper so that the nominal frequency of the power system is maintained. The fast ramping merit of the energy storage system is a feat to give regulation of the frequency.
The coal-based system is restricted in its capacity to give the frequency control due to the limitation of the power ramp rate. Therefore, this advanced energy storage system is suited to high-frequency operation.
As a new type of flexible regulatory resource with a bidirectional regulation function [3, 4], energy storage (ES) has attracted more attention in participation in automatic generation control (AGC). It also has become essential to the future frequency regulation auxiliary service market .
