What is an energy storage project?

An energy storage project is a cluster of battery banks (or modules) that are connected to the electrical grid. These battery banks are roughly the same size as a shipping container. These are also called Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), or grid-scale/utility-scale energy storage or battery storage systems.

Where are the energy storage projects being built?

The energy storage projects will be located at three existing SCE power substations: 225 MW at Springvale Substation in Big Creek-Ventura, 200 MW at Hinson Substation in the Los Angeles Basin, and 112.5 MW at Etiwanda Substation in the Los Angeles Basin.

What is energy storage & why is it important?

That's where energy storage comes in, offering the potential for power to be held in reserve until it's needed by homes or businesses. As solar continues to ramp up – alongside wind power and other similarly intermittent green energy sources – the need for grid-scale solutions to support that growth will only increase in kind.

How is artificial intelligence affecting energy storage & energy storage?

Artificial intelligence demand is fueling fast growth in data centers and digital infrastructure stocks, ETFs and REITs. A hybrid energy storage and artificial intelligence play, Fluence offers energy storage products with integrated software in addition to the batteries and hardware itself.

Is NextEra the future of energy storage & battery technology?

As the world's largest generator of wind and solar energy, it is critical to NextEra to figure out how to efficiently store and deploy solar and wind energy during peak demand periods. That naturally gives it a place as a leader in the future of energy storage and battery technology.

Are solar panels a good investment?

According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, solar accounted for 67% of all new electricity generation added to the U.S. grid in the first half of 2024. In other words, 2 out of every 3 new watts of power added to the grid came from solar panels. That's a great sign for those looking to move away from fossil fuels.
