Spinosa Energy Center

Spinosa Energy Center is a proposed 200 megawatt / 400 megawatt-hour energy storage project that will interconnect to the existing Pleasant Valley Switch to Parkway 138kv transmission line. At peak output, this project will discharge the electricity necessary to power approximately 50,000 homes for a 2-hour period.

The project will be sited on approximately 35 acres of industrially zoned land, just south of Kell Blvd and east of Allendale Road.

Project at a Glance

Electrical Grid Impact: Enhance the reliability and resiliency of the local electrical grid

Economic Impact: This project is expected to contribute millions of dollars in local tax revenue over its operating life, helping support schools, public services, infrastructure, and other community priorities.

Environmental Impact: Energy storage helps improve grid efficiency and reliability without producing air emissions during operations.

Safety

Safety is a guiding principle at East Point Energy and remains so for the development and operation of Spinosa Energy Center. The facility will be designed to meet applicable codes, regulations, and standards for battery energy storage systems, incorporating multiple layers of monitoring, protection, and operational controls.

The project team will coordinate closely with local emergency responders and public safety officials throughout the planning and operations of the project. Ongoing inspections, maintenance, and monitoring will help ensure the facility operates safely and reliably for decades to come.
