Greensmith Energy Partners with AltaGas to Deliver 20 Megawatts of Critical Energy Storage to Southern California
Greensmith Energy, one of the largest providers of energy storage
software and integration services, announced today that AltaGas Ltd. has
selected Greensmith as the software provider and system integrator for a
20 MW/80MWh system in Pomona, California. Together, AltaGas and
Greensmith will deploy a state-of-the-art 20 MW energy storage system to
help with Resource Adequacy in California and offer multiple other grid
applications. The project will be expedited and is expected to be
completed in December 2016.
“AltaGas has significant experience developing, owning and operating
clean energy assets across North America,” said David Harris, President
and Chief Executive Officer of AltaGas. “Adding battery storage to our
California power portfolio and having Greensmith as our partner, proves
the versatility of our asset base and greatly enhances the value of what
we can offer the California and desert southwest markets through
integrated energy centers providing clean, reliable electricity.”
Now on track to install 200MW of cumulative operating capacity -
Greensmith has set the benchmark for designing and deployment the most
successful energy storage technologies and solutions available globally.
The company was recently selected as the fastest growing energy storage
firm by Deloitte Fast 500 and Inc 5000, and serves a growing number of
the world’s largest power firms. Leveraging significant grid-scale
experience in the modeling and design of complex energy storage
applications, all Greensmith systems are anchored by GEMS, the
industry-leading software platform for energy storage.
“We are honored to be selected by AltaGas to be an integral part of the
California Public Utilities Commission’s call for energy storage
capacity,” said John Jung, President and CEO of Greensmith Energy. “From
the beginning, Greensmith embarked on building and delivering the most
advanced, mission-critical energy storage technologies for both
grid-scale and behind-the-meter applications. And over the past 8 years,
the successful execution of this strategy along with an unparalleled
track-record of safe, reliable and timely project completion – helped us
gain the confidence of innovative leaders such as AltaGas”.
This site is anticipated to be commercially operational by December 31,
