Two projects – Deer Valley and Scatter Wash – known together as Scatter Wash Energy Storage, are in the initial development stages to create a free-standing battery storage project near Deer Valley Airport.
Developer Strata Clean Energy plans to spend $450M to create a 400MW/1,600 megawatt hours-capable battery storage site that would house enough energy to power at least 350,000 homes for one hour.
The site is located near the APS Scatter Wash substation and will connect to APS’ grid when completed in 2024.
Battery storage and grid connectivity is a growing sector in energy development projects. KORE Power’s KOREPlex project in Buckeye will break ground on a 1MSF facility next year, with the intent of beginning production in late 2023. (Source)
