Document Description
UCI’s Advanced Power and Engineering Program (APEP) is collaborating with Southern California Edison (SCE) and Form Energy to advance development of an aqueous, air-breathing long-duration energy storage system. The proposed project would demonstrate a 10kW/1000kWh prototype at the APEP Grid Evolution Laboratory (GEL) in order to assess the performance of this non-Li Ion battery in terms of energy storage duration and cost. The scope of work includes installation of the battery prototype at the existing APEP GEL located within the Engineering Laboratory Facility (ELF) at the UCI campus.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1 (Sec.15301), Class 6 (Sec. 15306)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is the installation of utility infrastructure at an existing facility for the purpose of research. No increase in the physical footprint of the building would occur and expansion of use would be negligible.
