South Park BESS plays a vital role in strengthening the local power grid. By providing a reliable source of stored energy, the project helps balance supply and demand, reducing the risk of outages and ensuring a consistent power supply. This stability is essential for supporting the growth of renewable energy sources and creating a more sustainable energy future.

A Positive Impact on the Community and Environment

South Park BESS is more than just a battery storage project; it’s a commitment to the community and the environment. Park County is a drought-prone area so the added economic benefits that South Park BESS offers will go directly to the Fire Department.

As part of this, the local fire department will be able to keep a 30,000 gallon water storage tank on-hand to use as needed for the County.
