Minnesota utility regulators want the state’s largest power company to pick up the pace on connecting small solar projects to its grid.

Two battery energy storage systems developed by Convergent Energy + Power in Orange County, California, are now operating, providing grid resilience for Southern California Edison.

Convergent said it would operate and maintain both lithium-ion battery energy storage systems. The systems are 9 MW/36 MWh and 6 MW/24 MWh.

Construction is underway on New York's first offshore wind project.

South Fork Wind is being jointly developed by Ørsted and Eversource, and is expected to come online in 2023.
