How is the Southern Power Grid Energy Storage
With a robust business model, the company harnesses a variety of energy storage technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries and
Southern Power, a leading U.S. wholesale energy provider and subsidiary ofSouthern Company, has been awarded a 20-year power purchase agreementby Southern California Edison to add a battery-based energy storageresource at Southern Power's Garland Solar Facility in California.
Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, is a set of technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed.
For the Garland Solar Facility, 88 megawatts (MW) with 352 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy storage will be added. Southern Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, is a leading U.S. wholesale energy provider meeting the electricity needs of municipalities, electric cooperatives, investor-owned utilities and other energy customers.
The lithium ion (Li-ion) battery-based energystorage additions will enhance California's gridreliability by providing SCE and the California ISOwith additional flexible resource capacity that willassist in further integrating intermittent renewable energy into the grid.
