Calistoga Resiliency Center
The Calistoga Resiliency Center is a long-duration energy storage and power generation facility located in Calistoga, California, United States. The facility utilizes a hybrid technology configuration which couples a lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) with a hydrogen fuel cell power plant to produce a combined 8.5 MW of peak power and 293 MWh of total stored energy. When operating under average power demand, the facility is capable of providing up to 48 hours of continuous power to the City of Calistoga. The project utilizes electrolytic green hydrogen compliant with the State of California's Renewable Portfolio Standard. Once fully operational, the project is expected to be the largest green hydrogen long-duration energy storage project in the United States. The facility is designed to operate primarily as a microgrid, providing backup power to the City of Calistoga during local electrical grid power outage resulting from Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events organized by regional electrical utility, PG&E. The facility produces no point-source criteria air pollutants or greenhouse gas emissions, a significant factor in the utility's motivation to develop the project. The Calistoga Resiliency Center is owned and operated by United States energy storage and technology company, Energy Vault. The facility is contracted to supply power to PG&E via a 10.5-year power tolling agreement. The system's ability to provide 48 hours of continuous electrical power results in its characterization as a long-duration energy storage (LDES) project by most industry sources. The United States Department of Energy defines LDES as any energy storage system capable of providing 10 or more hours of electrical power.
