Luna Valley is a 200 MW solar project in Fresno County. Daggett Storage is a 113.5 MW standalone battery energy storage project in San Bernardino County and is the final phase of the 482 MW Daggett Solar + 394 MW Storage complex. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLuna Valley and Daggett 1 represent two major steps forward in California\u2019s path to a reliable, affordable, and clean electric grid,\u201d said Brooks Friedeman, VP of Capital Markets at Clearway. \u201cWe are grateful to our financial partners, customers, and local communities for their continued support for these investments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>San Diego Gas &amp; Electric (SDG&amp;E) contracted equal amounts of solar power and energy storage from each of the Luna Valley and Daggett Storage 1 projects under 15-year agreements to achieve a virtually paired hybrid contract. Luna Valley\u2019s remaining solar capacity is contracted under 20-year agreements with Southern California Edison and Power &amp; Water Resources Pooling Authority. <\/p>\n<p>Clearway assembled a bank consortium consisting of Nord\/LB, Societe Generale, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., DNB, and ANZ to provide construction financing for the two projects.  <\/p>\n<p>Clearway has been a leading catalyst in transforming the state\u2019s clean energy economy, putting more than 2,300 MW of solar plus storage projects into construction and operation in California alone over the last 5 years.<\/p>\n<p>Construction is being led by Blattner. Once complete, Luna Valley Solar will generate enough reliable electricity to power more than 80,000 homes every year. Both projects are scheduled to reach commercial operations in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clearway Energy Group announced today that it closed more than $700 million in construction financing and has begun construction on two major energy projects in Fresno and San Bernardino counties in California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":4742,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.12 -
