Technical FAQs 4

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.

How many energy storage projects are there?

There are three energy storage projects. They 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 a battery energy storage system (BESS) project?

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project is an energy storage technology that uses rechargeable batteries to store electrical energy from various sources and release it when needed, functioning like a large-scale rechargeable battery that stabilizes the grid and enables renewable energy integration. Which is the largest BESS project in India?
