Arevon Energy on March 19 announced it has entered into a 15-year energy storage service agreement with San Diego Community Power, California’s second largest community choice aggregator, for the full capacity of the Avocet Energy Storage Project.
The project is a 200 megawatt (MW)/800 megawatt-hour (MWh) stand-alone battery energy storage system located in Carson, California, and is anticipated to be operational in Q2 2026.
Avocet Energy Storage marks Arevon’s second offtake agreement with SDCP; the company’s first contract with SDCP is with its Vikings Solar-plus-Storage Project.
Avocet Energy Storage will use Megapack technology provided by Tesla. The batteries store energy during non-peak hours, which is then discharged to provide power when it is needed during peak demand periods, greatly improving grid stability and reducing the likelihood of blackouts.
The Avocet facility features four-hour duration electricity supply that will provide necessary and responsive power and will complement the region’s renewable energy sources.
At 200 MW/800 MWh, the Avocet Energy Storage facility is the largest stand-alone storage project in SDCP’s portfolio to date.
