FlexGen to Integrate Solar and Long-Duration Storage

FlexGen Power Systems will integrate MN8 Energy’s Mammoth Solar project in Kanawha, West Virginia, combining 86 MW of solar generation with 70 MW/280 MWh of lithium-ion storage and 10 MW/100 MWh of Eos Energy Enterprises’ Eos Z3 zinc-based storage. The assets will operate as a single dispatchable resource to supply clean power for growing local digital infrastructure needs.
FlexGen will provide its HybridOS energy management software to coordinate the systems. The project marks West Virginia’s first utility-scale zinc-based long-duration energy storage deployment. Critical integrations will be tested at FlexGen’s North Carolina laboratory before equipment is shipped to the site, while its Remote Operations Center will provide overnight commissioning support.
The combination of solar generation and storage reflects the growing role of battery systems in grid operations and renewable energy integration.
“Partners like FlexGen are key to bringing capable energy infrastructure online,” said Moe Hanifi, MN8 Energy’s Head of Revenue and Commodities.
