Nuvve Selected for 40 MWh of Battery-as-a-Service Projects from Kit Carson Electric Cooperative in New Mexico - CleanTechnica

Kit Carson Electric Cooperative (KCEC) in northern New Mexico has selected Nuvve New Mexico, a subsidiary of Nuvve Holding Corp., to deploy and operate two advanced battery energy storage systems totaling 40 MWh under a Battery-as-a-Service (BAAS) model. Each system will be 5 MW / 20 MWh (4-hour duration) and is designed to provide peak load mitigation, grid resiliency, and market participation via the Western Energy Imbalance Market. The BAAS model allows KCEC to access these critical grid assets without upfront capital costs, as Nuvve assumes ownership, financing, operations, and maintenance responsibilities. The battery systems will feature grid-forming and black-start capabilities to support microgrid operation during outages, enhancing resiliency for essential community services such as healthcare, fire, rescue, and assisted-living facilities. This partnership reflects KCEC’s focus on resiliency, affordability, and innovation, enabling deployment of advanced storage while maintaining financial flexibility. Nuvve
