CORBY ENERGY STORAGE PROJECT
About the Project
The Corby Energy Storage project is an innovative battery energy storage project proposed for Solano County, California that features batteries with a capacity of up to 300 megawatts. It will provide California with additional flexibility in managing the energy grid, helping keep the lights on even during the hottest months of the year, when demand for electricity is at its peak. It will also help balance the diverse renewable energy resources on the grid minute by minute, filling in the gaps even when the wind is not blowing, and the sun is not shining. The Corby Energy Storage project is more than batteries — it represents a significant capital investment in California. It will create good-paying jobs and millions in additional revenue for the local community.
The Corby Energy Storage project is a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, the country’s largest energy infrastructure developer.
