Nighthawk Energy Storage Project
The Nighthawk Energy Storage Project brings 300 megawatts of battery energy storage system (BESS) to Southern California, storing power when demand is low and returning it to the grid when demand peaks. Dudek provided integrated, multidisciplinary expertise that helped advance the project to operation.
Project Facts
- Arevon Energy, Inc.
- Poway, California
- 300 megawatts/1,200 megawatt-hours of storage capacity
- Enough capacity to power approximately 385,000 homes for four hours during peak demand
- Operational in August 2026
The Challenge
As California works to meet ambitious clean energy targets, battery storage plays a critical role in maintaining a reliable electric grid during periods of high demand. Arevon set out to bring a 300-megawatt battery energy storage facility online that would strengthen grid reliability, reduce dependence on fossil-fueled power during peak hours, and support the region’s growing energy needs.
The Solution
From permitting through construction monitoring, Dudek helped bring the Nighthawk Energy Storage Project online, providing integrated, multidisciplinary expertise, including environmental documentation, ALTA surveying, and construction compliance management. This coordinated, multidisciplinary support kept construction aligned with permit conditions and local standards through to commercial operation.
The Impact
The Nighthawk Energy Storage Project strengthens energy reliability for the region. The facility holds enough stored energy to power approximately 385,000 homes for four hours, giving the local grid a reserve to draw on during peak demand, supply shortages, and outages.
What We Did
Next Project
Potentia-Viridi Battery Energy Storage System
Levy Alameda, LLC is developing the Potentia-Viridi Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), a 400-megawatt energy storage facility in eastern Alameda County, California. Dudek provided environmental and permitting support, technical studies, and agency coordination to help guide the project through California Energy Commission’s (CEC) AB 205 Opt-In Certification Program.
