"Public facilities like the Denver Public Library are at the forefront of demonstrating that energy resilience and safety can go hand in hand," said Jon M. Williams, CEO at Viridi. "This installation highlights how fail-safe battery storage can empower communities to maximize renewable energy, reduce costs, and maintain reliability—all without compromise." With installation led by McKinstry, the Denver Public Library's new RPSLinkEX energy storage system is fully integrated into its existing infrastructure and monitored through Viridi's ViSTA Dashboard. "The entire McKinstry team is very excited about developing and constructing the first Solar + BESS project for the City and County of Denver," said Jon Ensley, Sr. Construction Project Engineer at McKinstry. "We are appreciative of all our partners and stakeholders who helped to achieve this goal. We value Viridi's expertise in deploying this technology and the whole team has been great to work with." This project sets a new benchmark for how cities can combine renewable energy and battery storage without compromising safety.
