Utility-scale energy storage systems are poised to be a vital part of modernizing the grid<\/a>. This week, we placed into service a 25-megawatt (MW) battery storage facility at its Bolster Substation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to its Agua Fria Generating Station<\/a> and located in Peoria, 25 MW is enough energy to power about 5,600 typical residential homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battery system consists of a series of Tesla Megapacks that are connected directly to SRP\u2019s energy grid<\/a> and is the largest stand-alone battery storage system in Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The batteries can be recharged overnight when power is abundant and less expensive and then discharged during peak energy periods to help meet high customer demand<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBattery storage is an extremely important and growing component of SRP\u2019s 2035 Sustainability Goals to reduce our carbon footprint.”<\/div>
