“The BESS Project is a tangible example of the ongoing energy transition and ArcLight’s focus on leveraging its ownership interests in over 20,000 MW of conventional power generation assets to develop emissions-free, dispatchable resources that further facilitate the integration of renewable energy resources into the existing power grid,” said Dan Revers, Founder and Managing Partner at ArcLight.
Commercial agreements supporting the BESS Project are under discussion, with a commercial operations date targeted for 2025.
