Juniper Creek Energy Storage is a 200-megawatt battery energy storage system (BESS) located on a 5.7-acre site in Rancho Cordova, California. The project will use lithium-ion batteries and will interconnect with the existing and adjacent Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) Cordova Substation.
Vesper Energy provides innovative solutions to today’s complex energy challenges. Headquartered in the greater Dallas area, Vesper Energy is comprised of professionals who have collectively delivered more than 10 GW of renewable energy projects globally. Today, we own and operate 100 MW of solar projects, and our pipeline includes over 55 renewable energy and energy storage projects with a generating capacity of 17 GW; enough to power more than 2 million homes. Working with their customers, communities, and business partners, Vesper Energy develops, owns, and operates renewable energy projects across the United States with the goal to build a better energy infrastructure. www.vesperenergy.com/about
Landscaping and vegetative screening will be used to shield views of the Juniper Creek facility from the residential neighborhood.
The proposed location is an undeveloped site east of the Sunridge Park Village community and northeast of the existing SMUD Cordova Substation. The remainder of the surrounding area to the northeast, east and southeast is undeveloped land that is part of a South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan (SSHCP) preserve.
As with any development, Juniper Creek will be subject to California’s rigorous environmental protection regulations. Construction of the facility will create relatively minor disturbances from vehicle traffic, construction machinery and equipment delivery over the course of a few months. Energy storage projects can be managed remotely and require minimal maintenance, so once the facility is operational, it will generate minimal vehicle trips and will not produce noticeable levels of noise. The site will be fully enclosed and inaccessible to the public.
The Juniper Creek Storage Project is committed to generating the maximum positive impact on the local community in Rancho Cordova County.
From all of us at Juniper Creek Energy Storage, we’re happy to support those who work tirelessly to benefit the Rancho Cordova community. We are proud to be working in a vibrant community and it’s important to all of us at Juniper Creek Energy Storage to be a good neighbor and advocate for great work.
Our most recent grant recipients are featured below. The gifts supported both the Rancho Cordova Food Locker to join the Rancho Cordova community as they fight against hunger, and the Rancho Cordova Police Department Police Activities League (RCPD PAL) to ensure that Rancho Cordova’s finest are able to serve the community youth with vital skills such as teamwork and sportsmanship.
