The battery storage project will be owned by the company “BrightNight,” which will design and install the facility and its lithium-ion batteries. The White River substation will feed energy to the secure and temperature-controlled facility. PSE currently owns a 5 megawatt battery storage system.
Washington’s largest utility will add its first large-scale solar and battery storage projects to comply with the state’s ambitious clean energy law. The solar project will be built in Pomeroy, Garfield County, near Puget Sound Energy’s existing wind farm and will provide 142 megawatts of energy.
PSE has said it aims to add around 1,500 megawatts of battery storage by 2030. The battery storage project will be owned by the company “BrightNight,” which will design and install the facility and its lithium-ion batteries. The White River substation will feed energy to the secure and temperature-controlled facility.
Washington only has a handful of large solar projects, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, compared with over 100 in Oregon.
The solar project will be built in Pomeroy, Garfield County, near Puget Sound Energy’s existing wind farm and will provide 142 megawatts of energy. The battery storage project will be located in Sumner in Pierce County and will provide 200 megawatts of electricity an hour for four hours.
In addition, construction of this renewable energy resource will help Washington meet its goal of 100 percent clean electricity supply as set forth in the Clean Energy Transformation Act, passed by the Washington legislature in 2019.
