The Port of Long Beach has released a draft study examining a <\/p>\n

70-megawatt battery energy storage system (BESS) proposed by Pier S Energy <\/p>\n

Storage LLC, located on 2.9 acres of land on the Long Beach Power Plant property <\/p>\n

at 2665 Pier S Lane.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Port<\/p>\n

The proposed BESS facility would provide additional capacity in response to <\/p>\n

the California Public Utilities Commission\u2019s mandate to strengthen the <\/p>\n

reliability of the electric grid as the state transitions to renewable energy <\/p>\n

resources.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The study being released by the port is called an Initial Study (IS), which <\/p>\n

concluded that there would be less than significant impacts on the environment <\/p>\n

with the incorporation of mitigation measures; therefore, a Mitigated Negative <\/p>\n

Declaration (MND) has been prepared.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The proposed project would install up to 200 individual metal containers, <\/p>\n

each containing lithium-ion battery cells, a direct current collection system, <\/p>\n

an alternating current for auxiliary power, a communications network, a fire <\/p>\n

suppression system, a power conversion system to connect the BESS, and a new <\/p>\n

66-kilovolt (kV) substation to transform the voltage between the power <\/p>\n

conversion system and the substation transmission system.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The property has been owned since 2021 by Generation Bridge, a subsidiary <\/p>\n

of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The existing 66-kV SCE Long Beach Bus Substation adjacent to the proposed <\/p>\n

project site to the north would also be upgraded. Additionally, the project <\/p>\n

proposes to demolish three buildings and sections of abandoned concrete <\/p>\n

saltwater intake pipes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The port will host two public meetings, each providing the same content. <\/p>\n

One will be in person on 8 January 2025, with a second meeting scheduled for the <\/p>\n

following day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During each meeting, a presentation on the proposed project will be <\/p>\n

provided and comments will be solicited relative to the content of the Draft <\/p>\n

IS\/MND and Application Summary Report.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners is expected to hold a public <\/p>\n

hearing at a later date to consider the adoption of the Final IS\/MND and <\/p>\n

Application Summary Report and approval of the proposed project.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Late last month, the Port of Long Beach announced that its newest <\/p>\n

heavy-duty vehicle charging depot is fully operational, allowing Class 8 <\/p>\n

zero-emissions trucks to charge using clean electricity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
