Mill Stone Energy Center

The Mill Stone Energy Center is a proposed 150 megawatt / 600 megawatt-hour energy storage project that will interconnect to an existing 230kV transmission line connects into the Fentress Substation. At peak output, this project will discharge the electricity necessary to power nearly 112,500 homes for a 4-hour period. The project will sit on approximately 112 acres – most of which will remain undeveloped. It will be approximately two miles south of the Fentress Substation on the western side of Centerville Turnpike South.
