Dozens of students from Grand Terrace High School got a rare look inside Arevon’s 200 megawatt (MW)/800 MWh Condor Energy Storage Project during a field trip to learn how battery energy storage systems work. The opportunity to tour the facility came by invitation from the builder, Rosendin Renewable Energy Group (RREG), a California company and one of the largest Renewable Energy General Contractors in the U.S.
Rosendin Project Manager Ray Nelson worked with Grand Terrace H.S. Engineering Pathway Lead Matthew Johnson to coordinate the Feb. 2 site tour for 35 students. Rosendin builders explained how the facility was built to use Tesla Megapack battery units to store energy and discharge it into the electric grid when demand is at its peak. Students toured the new main power transformer, substation control, and overhead interconnection tower that is designed to transfer energy to and from the Southern California Edison Highgrove Substation.
