PPA signed for 126 MW Energy storage project in USA
Leeward Renewable Energy (LRE) has partnered with Southern California Edison (SCE) to enter a 15 year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 126 MW Antelope Valley Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Kern County, California, USA.
Once complete, the facility will be LRE’s first standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) and will expand its growing renewable energy portfolio to include about 1 GWh of operating storage capacity. It is capable of storing over 500 MWhs of clean power that can be dispatched during peak load times to meet demand of more than 100,000 homes for up to four hours.
The storage system will be adjacent to LRE's 100 MW solar, and storage Rabbitbrush project and 174 MW solar and storage Chapparal Springs project. With a capacity of 126 MW, the BESS facility aims to support the resiliency and stability of the California electrical grid.
The agreement between LRE and SCE acknowledges their commitment towards clean and carbon-free energy production, solidifying an environmentally responsible partnership.
