Document Description
The City of Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) proposes to install a 25-MW utility-scale BESS on an approximately 0.59-acre site, located at 72 East Glenarm Street, in the City of Pasadena, California. BESS are devices that enable energy to be stored and then released when the power is needed. The Project would charge and store energy, with a minimum storage capability of four hours and would connect to the existing PWP electric transmission system to transfer power, as needed. The BESS would be constructed at PWP’s existing Glenarm Power Plant.
A private entity would be selected to develop and maintain the BESS and sell the associated capacity and operational attributes to Pasadena under an Energy Storage Agreement (ESA). The ESA would include an option for Pasadena to purchase the BESS at the Commissioned Operating Date (COD), the second year after COD, or the fifth year after COD and any succeeding years.
