McCarthy Building Companies Completes Construction of LS Power’s 250MW Gateway Energy Storage Project in San Diego County, the Largest Battery Storage Project in the World
McCarthy Building Companies’ Renewable Energy & Storage group recently completed construction of LS Power’s 250 megawatt (MW) Gateway Energy Storage Project in San Diego County, Calif. LS Power’s Gateway system will be the largest operational battery storage facility in the world when it is fully energized at the end of this month. Battery energy storage is a critical part of California’s strategy to provide greater grid stability and reliability that replaces retiring natural gas generation, while reducing consumer energy costs. Currently, Gateway Energy Storage is energized at 230 MW and on track to reach 250 MW by the end of August 2020, significantly increasing the state’s energy storage capacity.
