Arevon Commences Operations at its 200 Megawatt Peregrine Energy Storage Project in San Diego

Arevon Energy, Inc., a leading American energy developer, owner, and operator, is pleased to announce the start of commercial operations at its Peregrine Energy Storage Project in San Diego, California. The 200 megawatt (MW)/400 megawatt-hour battery storage project is located in the Barrio Logan community and marks Arevon's fifth utility-scale energy storage facility in operation in California.

The $300 million Peregrine Energy Storage Project was developed and is owned and operated by Arevon. Peregrine Energy Storage employed more than 90 full-time equivalent personnel at the height of construction and will disburse long-term property tax benefits estimated to total more than $28 million over the life of the project. The facility features modern lithium iron phosphate batteries which are the best in class regarding safety in operations. Arevon's top priority is the safety of those who live and work in its project areas, and the company is proud to have operated its energy storage facilities in U.S. communities since 2021 without a single thermal or recordable safety incident.

"The successful completion of Peregrine Energy Storage is a result of the collaborative efforts of the project's stakeholders and the local community who collectively support California's renewable energy goals," said Kevin Smith, Chief Executive Officer at Arevon. "Peregrine signifies Arevon's ongoing commitment to energy storage, and its importance in ensuring a reliable, stable energy system, as well as to advancing domestically made energy in the state and throughout the country."

Utility-scale battery systems allow electricity to be stored and then efficiently discharged into the grid. Peregrine Energy Storage enhances grid stability and will reduce the risk of brownouts and blackouts by storing electricity and providing it during high demand intervals to prevent power outages. Energy storage projects like Peregrine also facilitate the addition of further renewable energy projects on the grid by directing energy to storage generated during low demand periods to meet peak demand later in the day. During peak electricity demand, Peregrine can power up to 200,000 homes for two hours per day. The delivery of more electricity supply to the grid during peak periods can also moderate peak electricity prices paid by consumers.

Arevon is a nationwide renewable energy developer and a leader in California with more than 3.2 gigawatts in operation and more than 800 MW under construction in the state. The company recently issued other announcements celebrating achievements at several of its California projects, including the start of operations at its Eland 1 Solar-plus-Storage Project, its Vikings Solar-plus-Storage Project, and its Condor Energy Storage Project.

GenH2 to Spotlight Zero-Loss Liquid Hydrogen Storage at Hydrogen Technology Expo North America Conference

GenH2, a leader in hydrogen infrastructure technology, is teaming up with cryogenic equipment leader Taylor-Wharton, a subsidiary of Air Water America Inc., to showcase its groundbreaking zero-loss liquid hydrogen storage system. The joint solution will be featured at Booth #901 during the Hydrogen Technology Expo North America, taking place June 25-26 at the NRG Center in Houston, Texas.

The Hydrogen Technology Expo is the largest hydrogen-focused event in North America, bringing together industry leaders and innovators to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen for both stationary and mobile applications.

A major barrier to the widespread use of hydrogen is the loss that occurs during transfer and storage. Traditional bulk systems routinely vent hydrogen gas due to rising pressure—leading to financial waste, operational inefficiencies, and increased emissions. GenH2’s Controlled Storage system, based on NASA’s Integrated Refrigeration and Storage (IRaS) technology, solves this challenge by keeping liquid hydrogen in a sub-cooled state and recirculating any evaporated gas—resulting in true zero-loss performance.

GenH2 and Taylor-Wharton, who first announced their partnership in February 2025, have co-developed the RS1500 Controlled Storage Tank System, which features a bulk tank with GenH2’s patented Heat Lift Assembly and Smart Tank technology. The solution is designed to eliminate both transfer and daily boil-off losses, thereby reducing operational costs, extending shelf life, and maximizing ROI. This revolutionary design is also set to power the world’s first Zero Loss hydrogen fueling station, launching in Dallas in 2026.

“The financial and environmental impact of vented hydrogen is significant—up to 40% annual loss with conventional systems,” said Greg Gosnell, CEO of GenH2. “Our zero-loss solution redefines what’s possible, making hydrogen a more viable, scalable clean energy source. We're excited to partner with Taylor-Wharton to bring this breakthrough to market.”

REPORT: Energy Storage Market Continues Strong Growth in Q1 2025
Jun 25, 2025

REPORT: Energy Storage Market Continues Strong Growth in Q1 2025

According to the new U.S. Energy Storage Monitor developed by Wood Mackenzie and the American Clean Power Association (ACP), the American energy storage market experienced record growth in Q1 2025—amidst current policy uncertainty.

Q1

The U.S. energy storage market added more than 2 GW across all segments in Q1 2025, marking the highest Q1 on record. The utility-scale segment led the way with more than 1.5 GW of new capacity, representing a significant 57% increase compared to Q1 2024.

“Surging energy demand is putting the electric grid under strain. The energy storage market is responding to help keep the lights on and support this unprecedented growth in an affordable and reliable way,” said John Hensley, ACP SVP of Markets and Policy Analysis. “Policy uncertainty is now one of the most significant risks that remains on the horizon as we tackle a balanced approach to allowing our economy to expand while maintaining the energy reliability that Americans deserve.”

New horizons in the market

The report shows there is a growing appetite across the country for deployment of grid-scale energy storage, as utilities, regulators, and communities further integrate the technology into their resource planning. In Q1 of 2025, states such as Indiana highlighted the geographic diversification that continues to take place as the market expands beyond early adopters such as Texas and California.

The growing market in Indiana is made possible due to factors such as land availability and clear state permitting guidelines.

  • Indiana added 256 MW of new storage to the grid in Q1 2025, effectively quadrupling its operational storage capacity.

  • Indiana has more than 10 GW of new storage active in the interconnection queue—the fifth largest storage queue in the country.

“We're now seeing significant deployment of energy storage resources in emerging markets like Indiana, while states across the Southwest like Nevada and Arizona continue to expand their energy storage portfolio,” said ACP Vice President of Energy Storage, Noah Roberts. “Energy storage was the second most deployed resource in Q1 2025, demonstrating its unique ability to be quickly built to address critical reliability needs."

The residential storage market also saw significant year-over-year (YoY) growth, installing a record-breaking 458 MW in Q1. California and Puerto Rico accounted for 74% of this growth, while new markets like Illinois are beginning to emerge.

A moment of policy uncertainty

The total 5-year utility-scale capacity forecast remains strong. However, the segment is at risk for a potential 29% contraction in 2026 due to policy uncertainty.

The community-scale, commercial, and industrial (CCI) segment has seen a 42% reduction in its five-year outlook, struggling with tariff uncertainty and slower-than-anticipated transition to NEM 3.0 projects in California.

The report cautions that potential changes to current tax credits could significantly impact the industry’s overall growth. If access to the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is severely reduced as proposed in the reconciliation bill passed by the House, it could lead to a 27% reduction in buildout over the forecast period. (Note: this report was developed before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee released its version of the reconciliation bill on June 16.)

Distributed storage would be the most impacted segment, with a potential 46% drop from the base case over the next 5 years. Utility-scale installations would decrease by 16 GW over the next 5 years if the tax provisions are changed.

In the near term, the report projects that 15 GW/49 GWh of energy storage capacity will be installed across all segments in 2025. The utility-scale segment is expected to grow 22% YoY in 2025.

As the market evolves, continued innovation, supportive policies, and strategic planning will be crucial to navigate the changing landscape and capitalize on the immense potential of energy storage in the U.S. energy transformation.

“The Q1 2025 results demonstrate the demand for energy storage in the US to serve a grid with both growing renewables and growing load. However, the industry stands at a crossroads, with potential policy changes threatening to disrupt this momentum,” said Allison Weis, Global Head of Energy Storage at Wood Mackenzie. “It's crucial that policymakers understand the importance of stable, supportive policies for the continued expansion of energy storage.

First Floating Wind in French Waters
Jun 25, 2025

First Floating Wind in French Waters

The Provence Grand Large wind farm features three Siemens Gamesa 8 MW turbines mounted on tension-leg platforms, developed by SBM Offshore and IFP Energies Nouvelles. With a total capacity of 25 MW, the wind farm is expected to generate enough power to supply approximately 45,000 homes annually. This will reduce CO₂ emissions by 20,000 tons each year, compared to traditional fossil power generation. This environmental benefit is equivalent to planting 10,000 hectares of forest—about the size of Marseille.

floating wind

These figures underline the transformative potential of floating wind technology to drive decarbonization and provide clean energy solutions.

Unlike traditional fixed-bottom turbines, floating wind farms can be deployed in deeper waters where wind speeds are higher and more consistent. These turbines are anchored to the seabed using tension-leg mooring systems that optimize efficiency while minimizing seabed disruption.

“The floating wind industry is still in its early stages, and we’re learning every step of the way,” explains Malte Lembrecht, Team Lead Floating Wind, Offshore Portfolio Management. “Our focus is on getting the technology to commercial scale. The biggest hurdle is reducing costs and proving that these systems work reliably and efficiently on a larger scale."

Consequently, the most important technological advancements are focused on cost reductions. “Since the Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) is a smaller contributor to the total cost compared to bottom-fixed systems, the real challenges lie in improving floater design and manufacturing, as well as managing installation and service,” says Malte.

Malte stresses that innovation in this area doesn’t always mean reinventing the wheel. "We’re not starting from scratch. By adapting proven bottom-fixed technologies and adjusting them for floating wind, we can accelerate development and reduce risk," he says. “This approach enables us to strike a balance between rapid deployment and the continuous research and development needed to make floating wind a viable, large-scale solution.”
