Webinar: Battery Energy Storage Systems at Peaker Power Plants: A closer look at benefits, opportunities and consideration of co-location

Demand for electricity fluctuates, so the electric system must be sized to meet the forecast for the future peak load. The electric grid relies on peaker power plants to produce power when demands and prices are at their highest.  Existing peaker plants and their associated infrastructure can offer an opportunity for battery energy storage system (BESS) development at lower cost, lower risk, and accelerated schedules.

Enertis Applus+ invites you to a complementary webinar where we’ll share insights into benefits, opportunities, and considerations of co-location of BESS with peaker plants.  We’ll also discuss the independent engineering (IE) technical due diligence process which supports tax equity investment and construction debt for the benefit of peaker plant owners.

Join Iñaki Herrero, Managing Director – North America; William Lauwers, Head of Technology – Battery Energy Storage Systems; Umed Paliwal, Principal Scientific Engineering Assoicate, Lawrence Berkely National Laboratory; and Priscilla Bell, Data Science Specialist, on October 16, at 1:30 PM ET to explore key aspects of battery energy storage systems at peaker plants.

After the webinar, you will have learned:

• How peaker plants support the electric system
• The value of existing Large Generator Interconnection Agreements (LGIAs)
• Benefits of the Material Modification Assessment (MMA) for amending LGIAs
• The typical configuration options for co-location
• How co-location can speed development and reduce development risks
• The value of Enertis Applus+ expertise in independent engineering technical due diligence reporting

Who should attend:

• Thermal generation owners (IPPs)
• BESS developers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and engineering, procurement and construction companies (EPCs)
• Tax Equity and Debt providers
• Energy policymakers and regulatory agencies
