Military in Sorrento Valley receive renewable energy funds
Energy storage projects at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton have recently received $50 million in grant funding from the California Energy Commission (CEC). This may be of interest to those in the Sorrento Valley area.
News of such funding is often made known throughout a region with flyer printing.
Of this amount, $8 million will go toward the Naval Base San Diego Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) project and the other $42 million will go to Camp Pendelton. These projects will support infrastructure that will ensure that power is uninterrupted at both facilities in the event of outages or other emergency situations. In addition, the clean energy goals of California will be supported by these projects.
The project at Camp Pendleton will provide electricity and backup power to the base for up to two weeks if there is a power outage. The project at the Naval Base San Diego will provide the Navy with data about non-fossil fuel backup systems and the integration of Long-Duration Energy Storage for 24-hour military operations. The Navy has called the project a blueprint for the installation of LDES systems for renewable energy at naval facilities.
David Hochschild, chair of the CEC, said that such projects are important to the clean energy future of the state as they change how excess power generated by renewable resources can be captured and stored.
