1.1-GW solar + 2,165-MWh storage project in California starts building

• Renewables developer as well as driver Terra-Gen has employed Mortenson to create the Edwards & Sanborn solar and also power storage space project located in Kern County, California. The project contains 1,118 MW of solar and 2,165 MWh of power storage space. It is currently the biggest solitary solar + storage space project to reach this landmark.

" Selecting the best partner to carry out a project of this range coupled with reducing side battery experience was vital for Terra-Gen, and Mortenson was a natural fit," claimed Brian Gorda, Terra-Gen's vice president of design. "Terra-Gen is excited to press the market to brand-new heights and build a plant that provides power for all hrs of need."

The Edwards & Sanborn project lies near a number of operating wind as well as solar projects in Kern County, California. Mortenson is the complete EPC contractor on both the solar and also power storage ranges. Website building will certainly begin in Q1 2021 with anticipated conclusion in Q4 2022.

Solar production on the website will certainly use more than 2.5 million modules and power storage will certainly make use of more than 110,000 lithium-ion battery modules.

" The Edwards & Sanborn solar as well as energy storage project is industry-changing and during this tough 2020 will certainly redefine the impact these systems will have on our tidy power future," claimed Trent Mostaert, Mortenson's vice head of state as well as basic manager of solar. "We are proud to combine our solar and energy storage space design and building experience with Terra-Gen's advancement capacities to supply a world-class power center."

At top building and construction, more than 700 individuals will be utilized on-site at the project.
