EDF Renewables North America and San Diego Zoo Global announced the operation of a 1-megawatt (MW)/4-megawatt hour (MWh) battery storage facility located on San Diego Zoo’s property in Balboa Park.

"The San Diego Zoo leveraged EDF Renewables’ Energy Services Contract to deploy the storage project to reduce energy costs at the Zoo facility by utilizing the battery to mitigate spikes in usage thereby lowering demand charges. The system will also minimize energy costs by recharging the battery when energy is at its lowest available rates, and then later discharging that power to the Zoo when costs are highest," the company said

"The San Diego Zoo was able to avoid all upfront costs and ensure full alignment of interests by utilizing EDF Renewables’ Energy Services Contract, whereby EDF Renewables is only paid based on the actual utility bill savings realized by the Zoo as a result of the battery operation. The battery solution also acts as a hedge against rising utility rates," the company said
