Eolian advances 1 GWh battery beside Ohio data center load

SolarNews Brief

Eolian is building the 200 MW Flint Grid battery outside Columbus, Ohio, next to New Albany data center and industrial load. The five-hour system is expected to provide 1 GWh of storage and enter commercial operation before the 2027-2028 PJM capacity year.

Solar Power World reports that Flint Grid is the first grid-scale battery permitted by the Ohio Power Siting Board. Eolian originally filed the project in 2021 and planned to use lithium iron phosphate battery systems from BYD. The project matters because it links large-load growth around data centers with storage that can use existing transmission capacity and relieve pressure in PJM markets.
