EVLO delivers its first energy storage system in California for a 12 MW project

Canadian provider EVLO, a subsidiary of Hydro-Québec, has delivered a 12 MW/64 MWh battery energy storage system for a group of buyers in California, with commissioning scheduled for spring 2025.

Please share:

EVLO, a subsidiary of Hydro-Québec specializing in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), has completed the delivery of a key project in California. This 12 MW/64 MWh project was designed to meet the needs of a local group of buyers, known as “Community Choice Aggregators” (CCA). The commissioning of the installation is planned for spring 2025.

The primary goal of this project is to optimize the performance of the local electrical grid by integrating services such as peak load shaving and frequency and voltage regulation. The system includes 64 EVLO 1000 units, accompanied by 16 power conversion units, and will be managed by the EVLOGIX software, compliant with North American NERC-CIP cybersecurity standards.

A technical offering tailored to local requirements

EVLO was selected for its ability to provide an integrated solution including design, engineering, production, and commissioning. The system components were adapted to address the specific challenges of coastal environments, particularly corrosion resistance in humid and saline areas.

According to EVLO’s management, this project demonstrates the company’s capacity to meet the expectations of demanding clients regarding reliability and cybersecurity. It is also part of a competitive strategy to establish a strong foothold in the U.S. energy storage market.

Growing presence in the United States

This project in California marks another milestone in EVLO’s expansion in the United States. Following its first installation in Vermont and agreements in Virginia with Dominion Energy, EVLO continues to grow its activities in key markets.

Energy storage plays an increasing role in California’s electricity sector, especially given evolving consumption patterns and the need for ancillary services to maintain grid stability. The installed battery storage capacity in the state has exceeded 13 GW, a figure that is expected to continue growing in the coming years.

EVLO thus positions itself as a key player in meeting the demand for advanced technological solutions in this rapidly expanding sector.
