The project consists of a 33MVA 20MW-hour battery system that will be built at the IID El Centro Generating Station (ECGS) and includes a metal-framed building to house the batteries, mounting racks and electronic equipment as well as the installation of ancillary components to enable its interconnection to the ECGS Unit 32 generator's tie line.
