LS Power has unveiled the largest battery energy storage project in the world – Gateway Energy Storage. The 250 MW Gateway project, located in the East Otay Mesa community in San Diego County, California, US, enhances grid reliability and reduces customer energy costs. In doing so, Gateway provides a valuable resource for energy consumers, utilities and other load servers across California.
“For more than three decades, LS Power has been at the leading edge of our nation’s transition to cleaner, more innovative energy solutions, and we are powering up Gateway Energy Storage as one more component of this vision,” said LS Power CEO Paul Segal. “Through our investments in multi-ple sectors of the renewables and energy infrastructure space, LS Power is reducing carbon emissions and improving reliability in the markets we serve.”
Gateway Energy Storage, currently at 230 MW and on track to reach 250 MW by the end of the month, follows another LS Power battery project, Vista Energy Storage in Vista, California, which has been operating since 2018 and was previously the largest battery storage project in the US at 40 MW. LS Power has additional projects in development or construction in both California and New York, including Diablo Energy Storage (200 MW) in Pittsburg, California; LeConte Energy Storage (125 MW) in Calexico, Cali-fornia; and Ravenswood Energy Storage (316 MW) in Queens, New York.
“Gateway and LS Power’s other California-based energy projects will sup-port the state in its clean energy and storage goals,” said LS Power Head of Renewables John King. “LS Power is a first mover in commercialising new technologies and developing new markets. By charging during solar production or off-peak hours and delivering energy to the grid during times of peak demand for power, our battery storage projects improve electric reliability, reduce costs and help our state meet its climate objectives.”
Through its portfolio of energy infrastructure projects and companies across the US – including battery storage, power generation, electric transmission and companies like CPower Energy Management and EVgo – LS Power provides thousands of jobs and tax revenues to support local economies.
