Ørsted partners with Mission Clean Energy for 1 GW battery storage projects in US Midwest

Danish energy company Ørsted has teamed up with Mission Clean Energy to develop four standalone battery energy storage systems with a total capacity of 1 GW across the US Midwest. This collaboration represents Ørsted’s first venture into standalone battery storage in the US and globally, further diversifying its renewable energy portfolio.

Ørsted will invest in securing priority positions in the interconnection queue for these storage projects, while Mission Clean Energy will lead the development efforts. Both companies have already submitted interconnection applications for the projects in the Mid-Continent Independent System Operator (MISO) Central and North regions.
