Holtville Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
Holtville BESS – Advancing Grid Resilience in California
The Holtville Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a 30 MW / 120 MWh standalone energy storage project located in Imperial County, California. Developed by SunCode Energy and operated in partnership with Greenbacker Capital Management (GCM), Holtville BESS will provide critical energy storage capabilities to support grid stability, renewable integration, and peak demand management.
With a 120 MWh capacity, Holtville BESS is designed to store and deliver enough energy to power approximately 4,119 homes for a 24-hour period, strengthening California’s transition to a more reliable, sustainable energy future. The project will feature advanced real-time optimization and intelligent grid controls, leveraging the expertise of Bachmann electronic GmbH and Acelerex. Their integrated system—combining Austrian-made power plant controls, AI-driven energy management, and real-time SCADA solutions—will maximize efficiency, response time, and grid reliability.
Holtville BESS represents a significant step forward in clean energy innovation—empowering communities with sustainable, on-demand power when it’s needed most.
Highlights:
- Holtville BESS, based in Imperial County California, represents the largest stand-alone battery storage project in the portfolio of Greenbacker Capital Management, a leading U.S. renewable energy investor.
