Eolus makes investment in 100 MW/400 MWh stand-alone battery storage project in California

Eolus has announced its investment decision for the 100 MW Pome battery storage project in the US. The stand-alone energy storage facility will be located in San Diego County, California. The project has been under development by Eolus North America since 2019 and is expected to commence construction in the third quarter of 2023.

The construction of the Pome site is set to begin this year, with the intended purpose of commercial operation by Q4 of 2024. Eolus has already signed agreements concerning the supply of the battery energy storage system with a major BESS supplier alongside a 10-year tolling deal with an undisclosed buyer.

Through Pome, Eolus will bring California a step closer to the intended goal of reaching a 100% clean energy economy by 2045
