Baker Electric Inc. has been appointed the engineering, procurement and construction contractor (EPC) for NEC Energy Solutions’ (NEC ES) grid energy storage pilot system for Southern California Edison.
The storage system project was announced by SCE last year.
The work will include establishment of 3.4MWh of containerized lithium-ion batteries, a 3MW power conversion system, and NEC ES’s proprietary AEROS® controls software suite. The system is intended to support peaks in electricity demand and is expected to be completed in November of this year.
