# Form Energy *Organization associated in the record with the iron-air battery approved at Sherco in July 2023.* Form Energy is associated in the Minnesota record with an iron-air battery. The one at-issue entry tagged to the company concerns a 10-megawatt, 1,000-megawatt-hour iron-air battery at [[Sherco]]. The [[Public Utilities Commission]] approved it in July 2023.[^1] The entry reports that the project was funded in part by a $35 million federal grant and $10 million in private capital. It puts the estimated cost to a residential customer at about thirty cents a month over ten years.[^1] The record supplied for this article does not establish the company's corporate history, ownership, headquarters or leadership. No Wikipedia text was supplied for the subject. The entry itself does not name Form Energy in its text; the association rests on the entry's "form-energy" tag.[^1] ## Who The at-issue entry is tagged "form-energy", and the pack lists "iron-air battery" as the subject's alias.[^1] The record does not identify any officer or employee of the company.[^1] ## What The entry describes the project as a 10-megawatt, 1,000-megawatt-hour iron-air battery at Sherco.[^1] It characterizes the installation as the experimental line item at the site.[^1] ## When The Public Utilities Commission approved the installation in July 2023, according to the entry.[^1] ## How much According to the entry, a $35 million federal grant and $10 million in private capital funded part of the project.[^1] The entry estimates the cost to a residential customer at about thirty cents a month over ten years.[^1] The entry rests on two sources, from rmi.org and utilitydive.com, described as news and record.
