The environmental benefits of the Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility are substantial, as it facilitates the increased utilization of renewable energy while diminishing reliance on traditional fossil fuels. This contributes to a cleaner atmosphere.
In 2021 Vistra began to refer to its Moss Landing power plant facility as the "Vistra Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility". The plant has power lines that connect it to Path 15, and interconnections like Path 26 and Path 66 that allow power to flow to far-away regions.
The Moss Landing Power Plant site has since been chosen as California's primary location to provide battery based energy storage in order to better utilize renewable energy sources such as solar and wind on a grid-wide commercial scale.
Energy storage technologies, particularly lithium battery technology, are vital for the success of this facility. Lithium batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that store energy efficiently, making them commonly used in renewable energy systems.
The biggest project to come online during 2022 meanwhile was Crimson Energy Storage, also in California, which is 350MW/1,400MWh. Vistra has previously claimed it will have over 1.2GW of battery storage in its US portfolio by 2026.
