An Arizona-headquartered developer, owner, and operator of renewable energy projects said construction of another major energy storage project is underway in California.

Arevon Energy on March 24 said it has begun building the 250-MW/1,000-MWh Cormorant Energy Storage Project in Daly City. The company said the $600-million installation is expected to enter commercial operation next year.

The project’s design has been expanded from its original 188 MW/752 MWh. The project’s power generation is contracted under a long-term offtake agreement with MCE, an electricity provider serving more than 1.8-million customers across Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, and Solano counties.
