AES just completed the first half of Bellefield, which will become the largest solar + storage facility in the US. The 1,000-megawatt (MW) Bellefield 1 project in Kern County, California, includes 500 MW of solar and 500 MW of four-hour battery storage, all under a 15-year contract with Amazon.
BESS deployment data for 2024 and forecasts for 2025 have been released by BloombergNEF and the Energy Information Administration (EIA) respectively. The US added a record 49GW of new solar capacity in 2024, as renewable power contributed to more than 1,000TWh of the country's total electricity generation for the first time in a calendar year.
A new 875 MW solar project in California features nearly 2 million solar panels and offers more than 3 GWh of energy storage. From pv magazine USA Terra-Gen and Mortenson have announced the activation of the Edwards & Sanborn Solar + Energy Storage project, the largest solar-plus-storage project in the United States.
Moreover, the combined forecast for solar PV and battery storage puts both technologies contributing to 50.7GW of the total 63GW in 2025. Regarding the growth of energy storage in the US, the EIA highlighted its importance when paired with other renewables in order to provide a balance between supply and demand, while improving grid stability.
"The 1,000-megawatt (MW) Bellefield 1 project in Kern County, California, includes 500 MW of solar and 500 MW of four-hour battery storage, all under a 15-year contract with Amazon. When the full 2,000 MW Bellefield project is done, it will be the biggest solar-plus-storage installation in the country."
The EIA has forecast 63GW of new utility-scale electricity-generating project additions in 2025, led by solar PV. More than half (52%) is forecast to come from utility-scale solar PV with 32.5GW, which added a record 30GW in 2024, according to data from the EIA.
