Fengate Asset Management and Alpha Omega Power’s (AOP’s) 100MW/400MWh Caballero battery energy storage system (BESS) in California, has reached commercial operations.
After initially rejecting a 250MW standalone BESS proposal from Brookfield portfolio company Evolugen, Ottawa City Council has pledged its support for the project.
BESS technology continues to advance, but the energy industry needs to change its thinking about O&M to capture the full potential, writes Jeremy Williams of IHI Power Services.
