The Eland solar+energy storage project developed by Arevon Energy is now fully operational. The project is divided into two phases and is located near the Mojave Desert in Kern County. It is one of the largest solar+energy storage facilities in the United States, with a total investment of over $2 billion. The Eland project consists of 758 MW DC solar power generation facilities and 300 MW/1200 MWh energy storage systems. The Eland Phase I project will be put into commercial operation by the end of 2024, while the Eland Phase II project has recently been fully operational - consisting of 1.36 million solar panels and 172 lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said, "We are building a greener Los Angeles. Arevon's Eland solar+energy storage project alone can provide enough electricity to over 266000 households in Los Angeles and increase the city's clean energy share to over 60%. This is an important milestone in Los Angeles' transition to 100% clean energy by 2035. ”This is the future of clean energy in Los Angeles - I want to thank the Los Angeles Water and Electricity Authority, Arevon, and all the partners who made this moment possible. ”

The energy produced and stored by Arevon's Eland has signed a long-term agreement with the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) to deliver it to its members, the Los Angeles Water and Electricity Authority (LADWP) and the Glendale Water and Electricity Authority (GWP).

Arevon CEO Kevin Smith said, "The launch of the Eland solar+energy storage project is a milestone achievement for Arevon. Eland is not only the largest project in our investment portfolio, but also provides reliable and affordable energy on a large scale, demonstrating our team's leadership in driving the future development of renewable energy in California. ”The close cooperation between project landowners and community members, as well as our power purchase and financing partners, is crucial to our achievement. We are pleased to provide stable and safe local electricity to Los Angeles residents and contribute to the state's renewable energy goals - while supporting local communities and investing in long-term sustainable development

Tesla batteries are locally produced in Las Rop, California, and can efficiently and quickly release electricity during peak usage periods, enhancing California's energy security, especially in extreme heat, power restrictions, and power outages. The construction of Eland 1&2 nuclear power plants has created approximately 1000 job opportunities, and it is expected that the project will pay over $36 million to the local government throughout its entire lifecycle to support school, public service, and necessary infrastructure upgrades.
