Episode Details

Burlington just approved the biggest battery ever on its grid—5 megawatts—designed to slash energy costs and keep power steady during peak summer demand. Located beside the old ash dump at the McNeil Station, it’ll be leased and maintained by Kearsarge Energy, while Burlington Electric controls when it powers the grid. With peak demand hitting 60 megawatts (vs. 37 average), this battery can deliver 20 megawatts for up to four hours—just what the doctor ordered. After waiting for prices to drop, officials say the payoff will be worth it within five years, with savings directly benefiting residents. It’s a smart, community-focused step toward a more resilient and affordable energy future.
