Built and co-located with the Lockhart solar and battery resources already in operation, the Lockhart CL I ESS project provides 69 MW of capacity, and the Lockhart CL II ESS will add an additional 59.7 MW of capacity. Collectively, the facility will provide enough electricity to supply more than 128,000 households for four hours.

“California’s clean energy goals are some of the most ambitious in the country, and I’m confident in the positive impact our new Lockhart facility will have in powering the state’s future with new, clean, and reliable energy resources,” said John O’Connor, chief executive officer for Terra-Gen. “This milestone reinforces our mission to provide affordable energy, at a large scale, to help strengthen the California grid while also having a meaningful positive impact on climate change.”

The 128.7 MW, four-hour lithium-ion battery energy storage system combined project comprises 164 battery enclosures and utilizes the existing gen-tie line connecting to Southern California Edison’s Kramer Junction Substation. The use of the resource adequacy capacity is fully contracted under two long-term resource adequacy agreements with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E).

“We designed this expansion to fit seamlessly with the existing facility and maximize the shared infrastructure,” said Gus Luna, chief development officer for Terra-Gen. “The Lockhart complex is a testament to our team’s ability to deliver integrated projects, at scale, on time and to the highest performance and safety standards.”

The construction of the new facility created more than 115 jobs at peak activity, and workers collectively completed more than 85,000 hours during construction and the transition to operations.
