Los Angeles Moves A Step Closer to Approving Huge Solar with Battery Storage Installation
LCG, September 12, 2019--The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a plan on September 10 to install a 300-MW/1,200-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) located at 8minute Solar Energy's (8mSE) Eland Solar and Storage Center.
The BESS will be co-located with a 400-MW solar PV plant that will deliver power via a 5-mile link to LADWP's Barren Ridge Switching Station in the Mojave Desert. The proposed, 25-year agreement now moves to the City Council for final review prior to the Mayor approving the deal. The guaranteed commercial operation date for the project is December 31, 2023.
