Capital Dynamics has announced that its Clean Energy Infrastructure business has signed an agreement with Tenaska to develop a portfolio of nine battery energy storage system (BESS) projects located throughout California’s highest electrical load centers.
The BESS projects are designed to deliver local preferred and non-greenhouse gas (GHG) power resources to manage high-demand conditions caused by California heat waves, power supply shortages, and growing local power supply deficiencies in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and San Diego areas, that cannot be reliably served solely by intermittent renewables. The BESS facilities will store and maximise the use of clean, renewable energy sources like solar and wind. In total, the projects will provide approximately 2,000MW of clean energy into the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) market.
