FAQs
Where will the project be located?
Blackberry Grove Energy Storage will be located at the nexus of NW West Union Road and Bendemeer Road. The generation tie-line will run across West Union Road to interconnect at the West Union substation, immediately south of the project site. The facility is designed to be a
low-impact neighbor
: existing berms and tree buffers will be preserved, limited noise and zero emissions will be generated during normal operations, and dark-sky compliant lighting will minimize visual impacts to neighbors.
What will be located at the facility?
The Project will include the following equipment and associated facilities:
Lithium-ion batteries
Battery energy storage system containers
Thermal management systems for temperature control
Fire detection and suppression systems
Electric control equipment
Power Conversion Systems (Inverters / transformers)
Step-up transformer and project substation, including lightning protection, a control enclosure, and internal fencing
Communications equipment
A perimeter fence and security gate
115kV generator tie-line and utility interconnection
Other facilities required for construction and operation of the Energy Storage Facility
Is battery storage safe?
Safety is our top priority during construction, operations, and for the life of the battery. Normal project operations will not directly produce fumes, pollution, odor, dust, or other offsite impacts that could result in health impacts to those nearby.
Jupiter Power is always evaluating equipment and the newest industry developments for preventative maintenance for safe battery energy storage facilities. We will also train all relevant first and secondary responders in the community on an ongoing basis. Each battery cell within the containers are individually monitored, providing constant, 24/7 oversight capability over every component of the Project. Each container is equipped with an integrated system of sensors, alarms, and fire suppression systems. The operational management systems will be designed, installed, and operated according to national Fire Code standards and regulations. All Jupiter Power battery systems are fire safety tested according to strict Underwriters Laboratory protocols.
Safe operations are enhanced by design parameters; state-of-the-art technology for monitoring, alarm, and fire suppression systems; and clear, open, and regular communication with first responders. To that end, we are already working closely with local first responders and other stakeholders on project design and look forward to continuing that cooperation throughout the operating project life.
How will this project benefit the community?
The Project will benefit residents and businesses by improving the power grid and supporting the local economy.
Battery energy storage is a proven technology that provides increased power to the grid and other grid management capabilities, like grid balancing through instantaneous battery energy storage response. With these capabilities, the Project will deliver more reliable power for residents and businesses.
When will construction start?
Pending successful permitting, we're projecting to start construction in early 2027.
