While the world is going through a terrible energy crisis, scientists and researchers have devised a plan to create an energy efficient battery that will store a record breaking amount of energy. The Manatee Energy Storage Center is the facility where the largest battery in the world is being built. It will absorb and store solar energy (solar energy) and make it available again when required.
The project is now said to be 75 percent complete, which means most of it is done and the battery will be fully functional within a short period of time. According to the Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) there are a total of 132 containers, of which 100 are currently being completed. This facility is located in Manatee County. The project should be completed by the end of this year.
The entire project has a capacity of 409 MW. It will deliver 900 MWh of energy, which is enough to continuously supply around 329,000 with energy for two hours. This shows how much potential it has to solve the impending energy crisis.
This electricity is intended to replace FPL’s coal-fired power plants. This means that the project will generate clean, reliable and economical energy solutions. Upon completion of this project, the focus will be shifted to the hydrogen pilot project, which is a ray of hope for 100 percent carbon-free clean energy.

With the help of its large storage capacity, this huge battery will provide energy even when the sun is not shining. The entire battery generates the power equivalent to 100 million iPhone batteries. The battery will take up the area of a 40 hectare property and should last around 40 years.
Florida is extending this project to other parts of the city as well. The transportation system will have 1,000 electric vehicle chargers and the government is working with universities to find more practical and efficient solutions.
