Overview
- The inaugural microgrid at Tahoe Reno Industrial Center began operations on June 30, delivering 64 MWh of energy storage using second-life electric-vehicle batteries paired with solar arrays.
- Redwood Energy’s system now meets more than 99 percent of power needs for Crusoe’s 2,000-GPU data center, reducing reliance on the conventional grid.
- Redwood Materials leverages its nationwide logistics network to collect over 20 GWh of used batteries annually, many of which retain more than half their capacity for reuse.
- The company reports a development pipeline of repurposed battery packs sufficient to build 1 GWh of storage and is engineering microgrids ten times larger than its first deployment.
- By combining circular battery sourcing with prefabricated modular designs, Redwood Energy aims to outpace traditional grid upgrades in speed and cost efficiency.
