Abstract: The first U.S. compressed-air energy storage (CAES) plant (110-MW 26-hr) was built by Alabama Electric Corporation, Inc. (AEG) in Mcintosh, Alabama, and started commercial operation on May 31, 1991. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is an active participant in the project, with particular emphasis on R&Drelated aspects, turbomachinery, underground storage, recuperator, scientific measurements, and performance tests. Since the plant is the first-ofits- kind in the United States, valuable lessons have been learned throughout its development and initial operation. This paper summarizes the history of the decision to build the plant and its design, construction, and initial operation.
