Document Description
Agreement LDS-24-002 with PSGM3, LLC (PSG) for a grant of up to $14,000,000, with $4,800,000 available now, to fund the deployment of a 32MWh non-lithium-ion long-duration energy storage (LDES) system serving PSG’s planned $630,000,000 first-of-its-kind zero process emission steel mill near Mojave. The LDES system will be connected to a microgrid and solar photovoltaic system. It will optimize the use of on-site solar energy, support critical operations during outages, and contribute to the overall energy management strategy of the facility.
The CEC considered the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Mojave Micro Mill Project certified by Kern County on March 19, 2024, and an Addendum to the Mojave Micro Mill Project Final Environmental Impact Report for the Addition of a Long-Duration Battery Storage System prepared by CEC.
