The entire Eland Solar + storage project, which has been developed by Arevon Energy, is now fully operational. The two-phase moose project, located near Mojave in Kern County, is one of the largest solar storage facilities in the country, with a total capital costs of more than $ 2 billion. Eland consists of 758 MWDC Solar accompanied by 300 MW/1,200 MWh of energy storage. Eland 1 reached a commercial operation at the end of 2024 and moose 2 recently started with full operation – together the two phases 1.36 million solar panels and 172 Lithium -iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.
“We are building a greener Los Angeles. The storage project of Arevon on Solar + Storage alone will generate sufficient electricity to serve more than 266,000 houses in Los Angeles and push the clean energy above 60%, an important milestone in La’s transition to La’s transition to being driven by 100% clean energy, said.” “This is La’s Clean Energy Future – I want to thank Ladwp, Arevon and all partners who made this opportunity possible.”
The energy generated and stored by Arevon’s Eland is under long -term similarities with Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA), which delivers it to its members, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and Glendale Water and Power (GWP).
“Bringing Eland Solar + Storage online is a determining performance for Arevon. End is not only the largest project in our portfolio, but it also delivers reliable and affordable energy to scale and reflects the leadership of our team in promoting the renewable future of California,” said Kevin Smith, CEO of Arevon. “Strong cooperation between the landowners and members of the project and the members of the community and our Power collection and financing partners was essential to bring ourselves to this moment. We are pleased to deliver from our own soil, stable and secure power to Los Angelenos and contribute to the renewable energy goals of the State Support and invest in the long-term durable.”
The Tesla batteries, which were manufactured locally in Lathrop, California, discharge the ability in times of peak demand, which means that the energy breach of California, especially in the light of extreme heat, brownouts and black -outs, reinforce. Cumulatively has generated about 1,000 jobs to build the facility, and the project is expected to expand more than $ 36 million to local government payments throughout its lives that can support schools, public services and necessary infrastructure improvements.
