A123 Systems will supply six Grid Battery Systems (GBS) to Northern Powergrid, which provides power to nearly four million customers in the U.K. The GBSs will be designed for peak-load shifting and to manage fluctuations in voltage on the U.K.’s power grid. The systems will be deployed as part of the Customer-Led Network Revolution (CLNR), the U.K.’s largest smart grid project funded through the Office of the Gas and Electricity Markets’ (Ofgem) Low Carbon Networks Fund. The system is expected to be operational by the end of 2012.
