Battery energy storage facilities are quiet when operating. There are little to no moving parts, and the equipment is housed in a container that muffles sound. In addition, Arevon conducts analyses of the maximum sound levels emitted from the systems and ensures compliance with all applicable requirements.

A portion of the transmission line will be overhead but portions in the Right-of-Way or on Daly City property will be underground.

Battery storage containers are designed to be above ground due to safety reasons. Battery storage projects have never been undergrounded before, and technology for stacking battery storage containers is still very new.

When we build a generating facility, we typically hire an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor. The EPC contractor performs design, completes engineering and manages construction of the facility. The EPC contractor also awards construction materials contracts and subcontracts for certain portions of the work. During operations, we will periodically contract for goods and services related to operations and maintenance. We encourage the use of local contractors and vendors when possible.

Construction is expected to begin in 2025 and last for approximately eight to 10 months to meet a 2026 operations date.

The project team will work with the community to ensure the facility fits in as seamlessly as possible.

Periodic on-site security checks will be conducted in addition to the remotely controlled security operations.

Safety is a top priority at Arevon, beginning with installing the most advanced technology available today. Our energy storage systems use state-of-the-art Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, which we’ve adopted since their commercial availability, valued for their thermal stability and ability to withstand higher temperatures. Since their commercial introduction across North America, there have been no reported fire incidents. In the unlikely event an incident occurs, the battery systems are built to confine and self-extinguish a fire within their containers.

Additionally, our battery storage systems contain protection and control features, including a battery management system that shuts down when operational environments are anything less than optimal. Battery energy storage systems are equipped with sensors that track battery temperatures and enable storage facilities to turn off batteries if they get too hot or cold. There are multiple redundancies built in, and the Arevon team works closely with the local fire marshal and permitting authorities to ensure all safety precautions are taken.

Construction is expected to begin in fall 2025 and last for approximately eight to 10 months to meet a 2026 operations date.
