Three battery storage projects being built for Southern California Edison are likely to be delayed due to supply chain constraints and COVID-19 lockdowns in China, according to the contractor.
Last October, Ameresco was selected by SoCal Edison for an engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance contract to deliver the three battery storage projects totaling 537.5 MW/2.15 GWh. The company secured $262 million from Bank of America to finance the projects, which had a targeted commercial operation date of August.
Ameresco said on April 10 that it told SoCal Edison that its battery supplier, FlexGen, repoirted that COVID-19 lockdowns and newly-implemented transportation safety policies in China could delay delivery of the batteries.
