Arevon Energy Inc. broke ground on the Vikings Energy Farm, a one of a kind solar-plus-storage power plant just outside of Holtville on Thursday, February 23.
The energy produced by Vikings Energy Farm will be used to provide resource adequacy and renewable energy to San Diego Community Power, helping to meet peak summer demand and support grid reliability, according to the press release.
During the ceremony, Arevon Vice President of Development Aron Branam said the facility’s unique 137 megawatts of solar production, coupled with 150 megawatts/600 megawatt hours of battery energy storage, will allow it to shift daytime solar production to late afternoon and evening hours, providing on-peak energy whenever necessary.
