Pome

In the San Diego Area, Eolus North America is constructing the Pome stand-alone battery storage project with a capacity of 100 MW/400 MWh. The project will support the power system with capacity, grid stability, balancing supply and demand, preventing blackouts and reducing grid strain.

Eolus has been developing Pome since 2019 and construction of the project commenced in 2023. The sales process for the project is ongoing and commercial operation start is planned for Q1 2025.

A ten-year tolling agreement has been signed with a customer – a Californian load serving entity, delivering electricity to its customers. The agreement allows the customer to use the battery system to store, control and dispatch stored electricity. The customer pays the owner of the BESS facility a fixed fee, covering access to the storage capacity and the flexibility provided.

Pome is Eolus’ second battery storage project in the US. The first, Cald, in Los Angeles was completed in 2023 for Eolus.
