H6 Microgrid Project (SPR 18-06)

Document Description: The proposed project consists of the construction and operation of a standalone electrical power generation source with the ability to interconnect with Southern California Edison in the future. The proposed project will supply utility-grade energy services, including solar and high efficiency natural gas electrical cogeneration; energy storage, excess thermal heat recovery and CO2 recovery. The proposed system is rated up to 16.0 megawatts (MW) of electric power supplemented by 780 kilowatts (kW) of solar generation and a 2.0 MW/4.0 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery storage system. The total system capacity would be 16.8 MW and would have the ability to deliver a minimum of 69,223 MWh per year. This system would be designed to serve as a proactively managed microgrid system that would supply power to the adjacent Onion Plant Industrial Park. (see NOP)
