The Largest Microgrid in North America Powered by Retired EV Batteries

Located in the Nevada desert, a microgrid powered by 805 retired EV batteries is quietly revolutionizing the energy storage industry. This innovative project, spearheaded by Redwood Materials, is not only the largest of its kind in North America but also a game-changer in the world of sustainable energy.

The microgrid, unveiled at Redwood Materials’ facility in Sparks, Nevada, is a collaboration with AI infrastructure company Crusoe. Utilizing thousands of EV batteries collected by Redwood as part of its battery recycling business, the microgrid powers a 2,000 GPU modular data center. This groundbreaking initiative marks the next chapter in the career of JB Straubel, the co-founder and CEO of Redwood Materials.

Redwood Energy, the newly launched business arm of Redwood Materials, aims to leverage retired EV batteries to provide power to companies, starting with AI data centers like the one operated by Crusoe. The microgrid, which generates 12 MW of power and has 63 MWh of capacity, stores energy from an adjacent solar array, showcasing the potential for sustainable energy solutions.


Redwood Materials has established itself as a leader in battery recycling, recovering over 70% of used or discarded battery packs in North America. With the capacity to process more than 20 GWh of batteries annually, equivalent to 250,000 EVs, the company is on track to deploy 20 gigawatt-hours of grid-scale storage by 2028, solidifying its position as a key player in the energy storage sector.

During the launch event, JB Straubel emphasized the profitability and scalability of the microgrid operation, showcasing Redwood’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions. With plans to deploy similar projects with other customers in the near future, Redwood Energy is poised for rapid growth in the coming years.

Redwood Materials, founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, has rapidly expanded its operations beyond battery recycling to include cathode production and supply chain management. With partnerships with major companies like Toyota, Panasonic, and GM, as well as ongoing expansion projects in South Carolina and Europe, Redwood is at the forefront of the circular economy.

Redwood Energy’s innovative approach to repurposing retired EV batteries not only addresses the growing demand for energy storage but also presents a lucrative business opportunity. By tapping into the untapped potential of used EV batteries, Redwood is paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient energy future.

As the energy storage sector continues to evolve, Redwood Materials remains at the forefront of innovation, driving the transition towards a more sustainable and circular economy. With ambitious plans for expansion and a commitment to environmental stewardship, Redwood is shaping the future of energy storage and sustainability.
