Panhandle Power Solutions (PPS) will serve as EPC for a new battery energy storage system for Whetstone power, a developer of sustainable energy infrastructure. The contract underlines PPS’s commitment to providing specialist full-spectrum EPC services that support the energy transition for its commercial customers.
The Colorado-based 202.2 MWh battery energy storage system will demonstrate state-of-the-art technologies that will help reduce peak loads for a local electric utility. It marks a major milestone in the state’s sustainable energy infrastructure and, once completed, will play an important role in increasing the resiliency of the electric grid and optimizing energy resources.
“It is with great excitement that PPS has been entrusted by Whetstone Power as the EPC for this project,” said Robin Hurst, VP of Renewable Energy at PPS. “We are a resourceful and resilient organization committed to the highest standards in engineering, procurement and construction. The PPS team is excited to bring this commitment, as well as our commitment to safety and environmental standards, to this project. Over the next six months, we look forward to meeting our customer’s needs and deploying this clean energy project in Colorado.”
Panhandle Power Solutions has just broken ground on the project, which is expected to be completed by October 1. To date, the company has deployed more than 1.5 GW of distributed generation and utility-scale clean energy projects in the United States.
PPS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol Bay Native Corporation (BBNC), an Alaskan Native Corporation. With offices in Washington, DC and Northwest Florida, PPS was founded in 2008 and served as the federal contractor providing general construction and electrical services to the nation’s most critical defense facilities. The company was acquired by BBNC in 2019 and has expanded to serve utility- and investment-grade commercial customers in the renewable energy sector while maintaining the legacy of its federal roots. In 2023, PPS joined BBNC’s industrial group, Bristol Bay Industrial (BBI). As a BBI member company, PPP adds to BBI’s already robust electrical capabilities.
