More batteries for San Diego area: Energy storage facility in Chula Vista turns on
Based in Solana Beach with nine employees, EnerSmart has 11 storage projects in various stages of development in San Diego County , totaling 156 megawatts.past two months opened two new facilities
, who took part in the official opening of the Chula Vista battery project Tuesday. “Now, you think about all the stuff we have to build — whether it’s battery storage, high-voltage transmission, utility-scale solar, offshore wind, hydrogen pipelines — there’s a lot of stuff we have to build.” Battery systems make sounds when they are in use — mostly during the day when electricity demand is high — and EnerSmart officials have installed noise mitigation designs at the Chula Vista location that they say will enclose and deflect sound away from neighbors who live nearby. The facility sits behind a fence 10 feet high, with walls on all four sides.
“Ninety-five percent of the time we turn the battery over to the system operator to help control supply and demand and we get paid a certain rate,” Beach said. “It changes every hour, it’s all market-based. Another way we get paid is by charging when prices are cheap and dispatching when prices are high.”
