Arevon's 300MW Nighthawk Battery Storage Project Powers Up in California
Event summary
- Arevon's 300MW/1,200MWh Nighthawk Energy Storage Project in Poway, California is now operational.
- The project uses lithium iron phosphate battery technology and can power up to 385,000 homes for four hours during peak demand.
- Nighthawk is under a long-term agreement with PG&E and is expected to generate over $30 million in property tax revenue over its lifetime.
- Arevon developed, constructed, owns, and operates the project, which is the largest standalone battery storage project in the company's portfolio.
The big picture
Arevon's Nighthawk project underscores the growing importance of large-scale battery storage in supporting grid reliability amid rising electricity demand. The project aligns with California's clean energy goals and highlights Arevon's strategy of investing in domestically produced energy infrastructure. With over 6.3 gigawatts of solar and energy storage projects across 18 states, Arevon is positioning itself as a key player in the U.S. renewable energy sector.
