Germantown, MD

Advancing a contracted battery storage project by funding Factory Acceptance Testing and equipment shipment steps that move the system toward construction readiness.

• Factory Acceptance Testing payments: Proceeds are primarily intended for Factory Acceptance Testing payments to HiTHIUM so battery containers can be released for shipment.
• Utility-contracted storage system: The New Krunkill project is a 4.5 MW / 15.0 MWh lithium iron phosphate battery storage solution selected by National Grid under a Non-Wires Alternative.
• Peak-demand discharge for reliability: The system is designed to discharge stored energy during peak demand periods to strengthen a constrained local distribution feeder and defer traditional grid upgrades.
• Integrated battery and grid controls: The project combines HiTHIUM battery containers with EPC Power CAB1000 inverters, an Eaton transformer, and Stem PowerTrack controls with remote monitoring.
• Construction pathway and readiness: Engineering is at the construction-ready stage and interconnection review is underway, with battery equipment already cleared through Factory Acceptance Testing.

Adaptive Infrastructure is raising equipment financing to purchase and release battery containers for its New Krunkill lithium iron phosphate battery storage project in New York. Proceeds are intended primarily for Factory Acceptance Testing payments to HiTHIUM, enabling the battery containers to be released for shipment. The funding also supports directly related costs tied to those battery equipment expenditures and project readiness.

The project, rated at 4.5 MW and 15.0 MWh, was selected by National Grid through a Non-Wires Alternative award and contracted under a Firm Service Agreement. Once operational, the system is designed to discharge stored energy during peak demand periods to strengthen a constrained local distribution feeder and defer traditional grid upgrades. Adaptive Infrastructure developed and coordinates delivery of distributed energy storage assets, bringing project finance, engineering, and energy market operations expertise to utility and community requirements. The battery system combines HiTHIUM containers with EPC Power CAB1000 inverters, an Eaton 5 MVA medium-voltage transformer, and Stem PowerTrack controls with remote monitoring. Engineering work is at the construction-ready stage, and interconnection review with National Grid is underway, positioning the site to move toward construction. All three HiTHIUM battery containers have completed Factory Acceptance Testing, and shipment readiness is the next milestone in the equipment procurement pathway.

Company Info

Adaptive Infrastructure develops and operates distributed lithium battery energy storage systems for utility distribution grids, including a New York non-wires alternative project.

Adaptive Infrastructure develops and operates distributed battery energy storage projects that connect to medium-voltage distribution grids to help reduce congestion and improve reliability. Its delivery model combines engineering, project finance, and energy market operations to produce storage assets aligned with utility requirements and local operational needs.

The New York Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Storage project is a 4.5 MW and 15.0 MWh system intended to discharge stored energy during peak demand periods under a National Grid non-wires alternative award. The configuration uses lithium iron phosphate battery containers from HiTHIUM, EPC Power CAB1000 inverters, an Eaton 5 MVA medium-voltage transformer, and Stem PowerTrack energy management with 24/7 remote monitoring. The company coordinates interconnection and project readiness toward an expected grid-service start.
