In the United States (US), onsite power generation provider Mainspring Energy Inc. has announced that its customer Lineage, one of the world’s largest temperature-controlled warehouse real estate investment trust (REIT), has signed an agreement to deploy 33 Mainspring Linear Generators in the state of Texas at five Lineage facilities. The products are scheduled to be installed and operating in 2025.
Lineage has pioneered the use of linear generators for onsite power independence, sustainability, and cost control, with multiple deployments at its facilities in California and several Northeast US states to date.
In late 2021 Lineage announced its first cold storage facility to produce 100 percent of its energy consumption on-site, using rooftop solar and Mainspring Linear Generators.
This latest agreement marks the first deployment of Mainspring’s innovative energy technology in Texas.
Texas is the largest producer and largest consumer of energy in the United States, and it’s significant for Mainspring to move into this market with a customer as innovative as Lineage leading the way. Mainspring provides cost savings, added resilience, and energy sustainability for commercial and industrial companies as well as utilities and data centers. Our ultra-low emissions enable fast permitting and rapid power deployment. We see a great opportunity to partner in Texas with customers on a variety of innovative microgrid projects, said Adam Simpson, Chief Commercial Officer at Mainspring.
The award-winning Mainspring Linear Generator delivers unprecedented fuel flexibility, including the ability to directly run on and switch between 100 percent hydrogen as well as biogas and traditional fuels such as natural gas and propane without any impact on performance and without any hardware changes.
Scalable from 250 kW to over 100MW, it provides local, modular power generation that is dispatchable, low-cost, and scalable to grid-level operations and has been in commercial operations since 2020.
The power flexibility, reliability, and control that Mainspring delivers is a valued part of our energy strategy. We have deployed world-leading innovations together and we are looking forward to expanding this success into Texas as Lineage creates a faster, smarter, and more reliable global cold chain, said Jesse Tootell, Director of Research & Development at Lineage.
