This BESS is projected to save United Power as much as $1 million annually by storing energy that would otherwise go waste.

​

The batteries supplied by Tesla, the battery will have a storage capacity of four megawatts supplied over four hours  — enough to simultaneously power 600 to 700 homes. These batteries are larger versions of the lithium ion batteries found in Tesla's electric vehicles.

Tesla, United Power and ENGIE were utilized for this project.
