Overview

• Arevon and its partners held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 7 to inaugurate full commercial operations of the two-phase, 758 MW solar and 300 MW/1,200 MWh battery project near Mojave.
• The lithium iron phosphate batteries, manufactured in Lathrop, can dispatch power within seconds to meet peak demand and mitigate risks of heat-driven brownouts and blackouts.
• Under long-term PPAs with LADWP, SCPPA and Glendale Water & Power, Eland will power over 266,000 homes annually and deliver roughly 7 percent of Los Angeles’s electricity, pushing its clean energy share past 60 percent.
• The $2 billion investment was financed through public-private partnerships led by Arevon, with SOLV Energy as the EPC contractor and Nextracker supplying solar trackers.
• Construction generated about 1,000 jobs and the project will contribute more than $36 million in local government payments over its lifetime while enhancing regional energy reliability.
