The assets are designed to provide 78.3 MW, 313.34 MWh of
battery storage capacity to the United Power electric distribution
system across multiple sites. Five of the sites have been placed in
service and the remaining three sites are expected to be placed in
service by the end of the summer. Strategically positioned
throughout United Power’s service territory, these eight advanced
battery arrays are pivotal in enabling United Power to enhance load
balancing and integrate renewable resources seamlessly.
“The use of batteries on our distribution network is essential
to a resilient and responsive power grid, and we are excited to be
moving ahead with one of the most aggressive plans for such
systems. These battery energy storage systems will allow us to
balance our power needs throughout the day and incorporate local
renewables more efficiently,” said Mark A. Gabriel, President and
CEO of United Power.
The Ameresco-owned assets consist of four 11.75 MW and four 7.84
MW battery energy storage systems across the eight different
substation sites owned by United Power, located in Adams,
Broomfield, and Weld counties. In addition, Ameresco integrated
Stem’s AI-driven clean energy software to efficiently operate and
maintain the systems. These batteries will allow the cooperative to
store and dispatch power efficiently during periods of high
consumption. By leveraging this innovative technology, United Power
optimizes its energy resources, enhances its grid resilience, and
ensures a reliable electricity supply for its members.
“Partnering with United Power on these transformational battery
energy storage systems has been incredible – in just under a year
of working together we have accomplished so much,” said Jonathan
Mancini, Senior Vice President, Ameresco. “The inclusion of this
expansive set of assets in Ameresco’s portfolio is an amazing
milestone for our team, as our largest wholly owned BESS asset
portfolio to date. Energy storage plays – and will continue to play
– a crucial role in enhancing grid reliability, optimizing
renewable energy utilization, and fostering a resilient and
efficient energy future. We look forward to continuing to help
support utility companies in meeting increasing demand.”
Today, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to celebrate
completing construction of the BESS assets. The event took place at
United Power's Bromley Substation located in Brighton, CO.
