Origis Energy and Pioneer Community Energy, a not-for-profit electricity provider headquartered in Rocklin, California, on Aug. 6 announced the signing of a 20-year agreement for the Chalan Solar plus Storage project in Lost Hills, Kern County, California.
Origis Energy will develop, construct and operate the 65 MWac Solar + 25 MW (100 MWh) battery storage system facility, selling the power to Pioneer to help fuel its growth. Chalan is slated for commercial operation in 2026.
“Our partnership with Origis Energy comes at a very opportune time. As Pioneer plans to expand our service territory into 13 new territories, this agreement ensures that we can provide clean energy and increased storage that helps meet renewable energy and sustainability targets while meeting the load requirements for our new customers,” said Vice Chair of Pioneer’s Board of Directors and Rocklin City Councilmember Greg Janda.
