AES BATTERY STORAGE
The AES Alamitos BESS Facility is an award-winning, stand-alone energy storage project that set multiple industry firsts. It is the world’s first stand-alone energy storage project designed for local capacity and the first grid-scale battery energy storage system to secure a long-term power purchase agreement. Notably, it also marks the first standalone battery system in the United States specifically procured to replace a natural gas peaker plant—setting a new benchmark for sustainable energy innovation.
