Arevon has inaugurated its Peregrine Energy Storage project, a 200 MW and 400 MWh energy storage facility, at a ceremony in San Diego. Located in the Barrio Logan neighbourhood, this is the fifth storage site developed by Arevon in California. The total investment of $300mn enables the optimisation of electricity use through storage and redistribution during high-demand periods.
A key project for regional energy security
The construction of the project involved more than 90 workers at its peak and will generate estimated local tax benefits exceeding $28mn over the life of the site. Equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, the facility meets industrial safety standards. According to Arevon, Peregrine Energy Storage can supply electricity to 254,000 households for two hours per day, thus reducing the risk of outages in the San Diego area.
Long-term contracts and industrial partners
The project was executed by Rosendin and EPC Services. Southern California Edison (SCE), one of the country’s main electricity providers, has entered into a long-term contract to purchase the reserve capacity offered by the site. This partnership aims to support network reliability, with SCE serving nearly 15mn people in Southern California.
Community involvement and local initiatives
The inauguration event brought together several institutional leaders as well as members of the local business community. The speeches emphasised the role of energy storage in stabilising the grid and supporting regional ambitions for power supply. Arevon also continues its involvement with several educational and social organisations in the area.
The commissioning of the Peregrine project reflects the growth of energy storage in California to increase network flexibility in response to rising demand. This facility represents progress in the sector’s ability to ensure electricity supply and energy security within the state.
