Hydrostor Seeks Approval for 3.2GWh Compressed Air Storage Facility in California
26 Nov, 2021
We are seeking approval for a pioneering 400MW Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES) project in California, named the Pecho Energy Storage Center.
This initiative, located in San Luis Obispo County, surpasses current lithium-ion battery systems in capacity and offers eight hours of storage.
With an estimated $820 million investment, the project could help address the state’s energy transition needs and create skilled job opportunities.
Our A-CAES technology compresses air using electricity, storing it underground and releasing it to generate power when needed.
The project aligns with California’s energy storage goals and could contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts.
