Calibrant Energy Brings Grid-Scale Flexibility to New Jersey Data Center with Battery Storage Project
EDISON, N.J., Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Calibrant Energy today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to build, own, and operate a 23 MWh on-site battery energy storage system at Iron Mountain’s New Jersey data center.
The project integrates large-scale storage with the facility’s existing 7.2 MW rooftop solar installation, creating a resilient energy ecosystem that supports Iron Mountain’s 24/7 carbon-free energy commitment.
Phil Martin, CEO of Calibrant Energy, said:
This is what the future of powering large loads looks like,
“Customers can grow and control costs while strengthening the grid, proving that large power users are part of the energy solution rather than a burden.”
By using advanced real-time controls, the facility transforms its energy load into a dynamic asset that stabilizes the regional grid during peak demand. This model maintains uptime for customers while displacing the need for new, carbon-intensive power infrastructure in the local community.
Chris Pennington, Senior Director of Energy and Sustainability at Iron Mountain, added:
Battery storage is a critical component of our broader strategy to support the local energy ecosystem,
“Flexible, on-site assets like this improve the economic and operational efficiency of the local utility grid, in addition to supporting increased reliability for all electric consumers. This project demonstrates how the data center industry can bring solutions to emerging grid challenges.”
