Lineage Deploys Generators in Texas

Lineage, a temperature-controlled warehouse real estate investment trust (REIT), signed an agreement to deploy generators at five of its Texas facilities.

The company will use 33 Mainspring Linear Generators at the five facilities. The products are scheduled to be installed and operational in 2025 by onsite power generation provider Mainspring Energy Inc.

In late 2021, Lineage announced its first cold storage facility to produce 100% of its energy consumption on-site, using rooftop solar and Mainspring Linear Generators. This latest agreement marks the first deployment of Mainspring's innovative energy technology in Texas.

"The power flexibility, reliability, and control that Mainspring delivers is a valued part of our energy strategy," said Jesse Tootell, Director of Research & Development at Lineage, in a statement. "We have deployed world leading innovations together and we are looking forward to expanding this success into Texas as Lineage creates a faster, smarter, and more reliable global cold chain." 

The Mainspring Linear Generator delivers fuel flexibility, with the ability to directly run on and switch between 100% hydrogen, biogas, and traditional fuels such as natural gas and propane, without any impact to performance or hardware changes. It provides local, modular power generation that is dispatchable, low-cost, and scalable to grid-level operations.
