Mobile battery storage: lessons from Vermont

Informational rewrite based on the topic and available supporting material from David Brushett’s original LinkedIn post. The date shown is the original post date; wording was reviewed in September 2026.

Vermont provides an example of energy storage that can move between locations. NOMAD’s transportable battery systems illustrate an alternative to treating every storage installation as a permanent asset at one site.

NOMAD reported supplying a mobile battery unit to Green Mountain Power in Vermont. The accompanying image shows the transportable equipment discussed in this historical post.

Match mobility to a real need

Temporary power requirements, equipment outages and changing site demands can make mobility useful. The assessment still needs to establish required power, energy duration, charging access and suitable connections at each destination.

For Nova Scotia, the useful question is where moving one asset between sites could provide more value than separate fixed installations. This is a technology example from another jurisdiction, not a claim that the pictured equipment was deployed locally.
