Arevon's Avocet Energy Storage: Powering California's Future
- Arevon Energy's Avocet Energy Storage project, powered by Tesla's Megapack technology, will boost grid stability and power 45,000 households daily.
US renewables developer Arevon Energy Inc has secured an offtake agreement with San Diego Community Power (SDCP) for its 200-MW/800-MWh Avocet Energy Storage project in California. The 15-year agreement will see the project, utilizing Tesla’s Megapack battery technology, provide energy storage services to SDCP starting in the second quarter of 2026. This marks Arevon’s second deal with SDCP, following a previous agreement for its Vikings solar-plus-storage project.
The Avocet Energy Storage project will help enhance grid stability by storing energy during off-peak hours and discharging it during times of high demand, potentially powering around 45,000 households for up to four hours daily. This project is the largest stand-alone storage project in SDCP’s portfolio and is expected to create quality construction jobs to support the energy transition in the community, according to SDCP chief executive Karin Burns.
