Southern Power<\/a>, the battery additions will enhance California\u2019s grid reliability by providing SCE and the California Independent System Operator with additional flexible resource capacity that will assist in further integrating intermittent renewable energy into the grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe energy storage projects will be owned in partnership with AIP Management (on behalf of Danish pension funds PKA and PenSam) and Global Atlantic Financial Group, both of which have existing ownership interests in the Garland and Tranquillity solar facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Southern Power operates the solar farms and will be responsible for operating the co-located energy storage projects upon completion. The company said the storage projects align with its growth strategy of developing and acquiring projects covered by long-term contracts with strong credit counterparties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
