6 FAQs about [Energy storage project land]

What is an energy storage project?

An energy storage project is a cluster of battery banks (or modules) that are connected to the electrical grid. These battery banks are roughly the same size as a shipping container. These are also called Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), or grid-scale/utility-scale energy storage or battery storage systems.

What is the difference between a solar farm and a storage project?

One advantage of a storage project on your land versus a solar farm is that it requires far less acreage. How many modules would be installed at any one site depends on several technical and economic factors, but in general, most storage projects require 20 or fewer acres, and small projects only require one or two acres.

How many solar panels are in the Edwards Sanborn solar & energy storage project?

The OLI-2 (Operational Land Imager-2) on Landsat 9 captured this image of the project and its nearly 2 million solar panels on January 12, 2024. The Edwards Sanborn Solar and Energy Storage project is a massive renewable energy complex that covers 4,600 acres of land in California.

Why do we need energy storage technologies?

The rapid increase in variable renewable energy development (especially solar and wind) creates a large market for energy storage technologies to control the flow of energy between power generators and end uses on the grid and mitigate energy spikes or power quality issues.

Do energy storage systems need zoning standards?

Consequently, zoning standards are generally not necessary for these energy storage systems. Define BESS as a land use, separate from electric generation or production but consistent with other energy infrastructure, such as substations. BESS have potential community benefits when sited with other electric grid infrastructure.

What is a battery energy storage system?

These are also called Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), or grid-scale/utility-scale energy storage or battery storage systems. Some installations use technologies other than batteries to store energy, but batteries are the most common technology. How does a BESS work?
