Mineral King Renewable Energy is a 200-megawatt (MW) solar generation and storage project being developed by Vesper Energy. The project will consist of ground-mounted solar panels and energy storage infrastructure installed on 2,000 to 2,500 acres of privately owned land in Tulare County.
The project will generate enough clean, renewable energy to power more than 20,000 California homes, and will benefit the local, regional and state economies through short- and long-term employment opportunities.
Mineral King Renewable Energy will help California meet its Renewable Portfolio Standard, which requires that 100% of the state's electricity come from carbon-free sources by 2045.
Vesper Energy provides innovative solutions to today’s complex energy challenges. Headquartered in the greater Dallas area, Vesper Energy is comprised of professionals who have collectively delivered more than 10 GW of renewable energy projects globally. Today, we own and operate 100 MW of solar projects, and our pipeline includes over 55 renewable energy and energy storage projects with a generating capacity of 17 GW; enough to power more than 2 million homes. Working with their customers, communities, and business partners, Vesper Energy develops, owns, and operates renewable energy projects across the United States with the goal to build a better energy infrastructure. www.vesperenergy.com/about
Solar panels harness the energy in sunlight and turn it into clean electricity. Solar power uses a limitless, renewable resource and doesn’t use water or create pollution. Paired with energy storage like BESS, we can expand the use of intermittent renewable energy sources like solar. By bridging the gap between peak solar production in the daytime and peak energy usage in the evening, BESS increases the supply of clean, carbon-free electricity for families and businesses.
Energy storage is becoming an integral part of our electrical infrastructure. The ability to store energy and release it when needed is vital to delivering a secure, reliable, modern electricity system.
Many of the battery energy storage systems (BESS) operating across the country today use lithium-ion (Li-ion) technology. Li-ion batteries are already commonly used in a wide range of consumer devices such as laptop computers, cellphones, toys, and handheld power tools, as well as in electric vehicles. BESS has the potential to make a meaningful contribution to a low-carbon electrical grid.
