Redwood launches Redwood Energy with a 63 MWh second-life battery microgrid for Crusoe

Redwood Materials/Redwood Energy

Redwood launched Redwood Energy, which repurposes end-of-life EV battery packs into grid storage. Its first system—12 MW, 63 MWh—powers a modular AI data centre for Crusoe; Redwood calls it the largest second-life battery deployment in the world and the largest microgrid in North America.

• Redwood Energy platform repurposes EV packs that retain >50% usable capacity into stationary energy storage; the Nevada system (12 MW, 63 MWh) is the largest second-life deployment globally.
• First customer Crusoe (AI infrastructure) operates at an energy cost lower than grid power; the system is the largest microgrid in North America.
• Second-life batteries function effectively in stationary applications where discharge rates are slower than vehicle use.
