Hydrostor plans 400 MW / 3200 MWh compressed air energy storage

• An affiliate applied for a 400 MW / 3200 MWh long-duration energy storage (LDES) project in California.
• Using compressed air energy storage technology, it addresses the retirement of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, aiming for operation by 2026 with an $800 million investment.
• The project aligns with renewable energy goals, offering grid stability and leveraging renewable generation cycles.
• Our technology captures surplus energy, stores it using compressed air, and releases it for electricity generation.
• The Pecho Energy Storage Center aims to employ up to 450 during construction and 40 permanently, contributing to California’s clean energy goals.
• The CEC’s plan to procure 1,000 MW of LDES by 2028 underscores the growing importance of such technologies, backed by international efforts to decarbonize.
