"The world's first compressed air energy storage plant was in Germany," says Lee Davis, plant manager for the Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) Power Plant in McIntosh, Alabama. "The Alabama CAES plant was the first in the United States when it opened in 1991."
"The proposed plant in Norton, OH about 35 miles south of Cleveland will be the world's largest CAES plant," says Michael McGill, Vice President of business development at, Norton Energy Storage. "At peak operation, the plant will store enough electricity to provide 675,000 homes with electricity for just over two days."
