The Cross Town Energy Storage facility in Gorham, Maine, is now operational, boasting a capacity of 175 megawatts. This facility is designed to store electricity during low demand periods and release it during peak demand times, enhancing grid reliability and stabilizing prices.

With this addition, Maine has achieved over half of its 400 megawatt energy storage goal for 2030. Governor Janet Mills emphasizes its role in the state's transition to 100% clean energy by 2040 and its potential to mitigate rising electricity costs.
