EVLO, a subsidiary of Hydro-Québec, has delivered a 12 MW/64 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) to a group of buyers in California. The company plans to commission the system in the spring of 2025.
The project directly supports local Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) by enhancing the electrical grid. It provides essential services like peak load shaving, frequency regulation, and voltage control. The system features 64 EVLO 1000 units and 16 power conversion units, all operated by the EVLOGIX software, which adheres to North American NERC-CIP cybersecurity standards.
EVLO secured this contract by offering a complete package that includes design, engineering, production, and commissioning. The company adapted the system for coastal environments, addressing issues like humidity and salty air corrosion.
EVLO’s leadership highlights the project as proof of the company’s ability to meet strict client demands for reliability and cybersecurity. The project also advances its competitive strategy to expand in the U.S. energy storage market.
The company continues its U.S. growth with this latest project, following its first installation in Vermont and partnerships in Virginia with Dominion Energy. These moves showcase EVLO’s steady expansion in key markets.
Battery storage now plays a more significant role in California’s energy sector, driven by changing consumption patterns and the need for grid stability services. The state’s installed battery storage capacity has exceeded 13 GW, with more growth expected soon.
EVLO aims to strengthen its position as a major provider of advanced solutions in the rapidly expanding energy storage market. This latest project boosts its presence in the U.S., where energy storage remains crucial for grid reliability.
