GM Supplying Redwood Materials With Batteries For Data Center, Energy Grid Packs
NEVADA, UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – GM and Redwood Materials aim to reduce waste by repurposing EV batteries into grid storage, supporting AI data centers with the largest second-life battery microgrid in Nevada.
- On Tuesday, GM and Redwood Materials announced a collaboration to repurpose new and used EV batteries into grid-scale energy storage systems in the United States.
- Last month, Redwood Materials created Redwood Energy to supply energy storage packs, as the U.S. grapples with grid strain from electrification and data-intensive technologies.
- Redwood will assemble those cells into storage units, and in June, it deployed a 63 MWh microgrid for Crusoe in Nevada using retired GM batteries.
- Despite withholding financial details, the companies said more information will be shared later this year.
- According to the Energy Department, data centers may use 12% of U.S. power generation by 2028, and the initiative could position the U.S. as a leader in circular battery economies.
