Renewable energy developer-operator Arevon Energy has begun construction on the 300MW/1,200MWh Nighthawk Energy Storage Project in Poway, California, US.
Sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) startup Peak Energy has launched and shipped its first sodium-ion BESS to be deployed in a shared pilot with nine utility and independent power producers (IPPs).
Independent power producer (IPP) Arevon Energy CEO, Kevin Smith, speaks with Energy-Storage.news Premium about the importance of community engagement in developing BESS projects.
Community engagement is an important part of battery energy storage system (BESS) project development. Not engaging with a community or even engaging minimally can stop a project dead in its tracks, delaying development.
