Project Overview
From Coal to Clean Energy
Located on the site of a former coal-fired power plant 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas, the Reid Gardner Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a 220 MW / 440 MWh project.
The Reid Gardner BESS is one of the largest of its kind in Nevada, providing bulk energy shifting for regionally produced renewable solar energy. The project also provides system-stabilizing ancillary services and bolster the state's firm dispatchable generation capacity.
Energy Vault collaborated with project owner and Nevada's largest utility, NV Energy, to design a custom BESS solution and provide an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) wrap on the project to ensure successful delivery and commissioning of the 440 MWh asset in under 4 months.
Energy Vault's custom BESS solution configuration is coordinated by its technology-agnostic VaultOS™ energy management software. As part of the full lifetime maintenance of the project, Energy Vault is also providing a Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA).
