The developer Power Aevon Energy Inc. It is committed to renewable energy and storage of batteries in southern California, starting and completing construction this month on two projects for an amount of 1.35 GW of capacity and $ 2.6 billion of investment, including one of the largest facilities combined in the United States.
The company has launched work on the energy storage project of 300 MW/1,200 MWHUR NIGHTHAWK, a lithium iron iron battery storage system to serve the customers of the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. In the area of the San Diego metro. San Jose’s builder, Rosendin, is EPC contractor for the estimated $ 600 million planned project for operation next year, which will link solar and wind energy to a substation at the base of the Miramar Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, said Alevon.
The construction is expected to use more than 130 employees in Peak, he added.
“Nighthawk and other use -scale battery systems allow electricity to store during low -demand periods, and then they were effectively downloaded to the network, quickly responding to high demand and life periods,” said Aevon’s spokesman.
With its start six months after a $ 400 million fire in Moss Landing’s battery matrix in Vistra Energy Energy, near Monterey, Aevon’s CEO Kevin Smith said that the design of the Nighthawk project includes added security measures “and will have the safer and advanced batteries on the market.”
Aevon has joined with the Fire Department of Powa, California, to develop a fire prevention and response plan and provide specific training to Tesla batteries to be used. Fisher Engineering provides an analysis of third -party fire protection engineering. The Union’s construction project, announced for the first time in 2021, is completely permitted and is described for home tax credits available under the Inflation Reduction Act, said Aevon.
Giant from the solar battery
Nor is no initial operation the final phase of the project of $ 2 billion Eland-Plus-Sorge, in the county of Kern, 80 miles north of Los Angeles. Greater to be built in California and among the largest in the country, it combines 758 MW of solar energy with 300 MW/1,200 MWh of storage of lithium iron phosphate battery. Builder Solv Energy has been the EPC contractor for the two -phase project.
With 1.36 million solar panels and 172 batteries, Eland will supply 7% of Los Angeles’s power under long -term agreements with the Los Angeles department and power department and the Glendale Power Department Moments Said is valued at $ 1.5 billion and provides an option to buy the generator directly, possibly after a decade of operations
Janisse Quiñones, the Chief Executive Officer of the Power Agency, said that Eland will increase the city’s clean energy supply to 64%, with a 100% goal by 2035. “It marks an important step forward in our transition and energy commitment,” he added that it is the combined project of solar battery storage.
Aevon said he has and operates more than 4.7 GW of energy and solar storage projects in 17 states, including 3.2 MW in California, and is building 1.5 GW more new capacity.
