Questions and Answers

Energy storage facilities consist of rows of rechargeable batteries housed in self-contained, interconnected storage units and operate by drawing surplus energy from the local power grid during periods of low usage and storing it for later distribution back into the grid during peak demand.

Project Olive will have the capability to provide 300 MW of power for up to four hours. During peak hours, this is enough to supply power to around 120,000 homes.

Unlike other power infrastructure or generation facilities, energy storage systems have very low noise profiles, with fans, HVAC systems, and transformers producing sounds at similar levels to standard commercial buildings. The sound levels at Project Olive site will be measured during final performance testing to ensure the measured noise levels outside of the facility are below a threshold equivalent to normal conversational levels.

Peregrine has extensively reviewed applicable fire safety codes, participated in national, leading fire safety committees, and studied all fire incidents to date to create a best-in-class fire protection design standard for its projects focused on data availability and monitoring, predictive analytics, and redundant safety features at every level. Project Olive facility has 12 layers of protection solely focused on the prevention of fires and goes even further to provide detection, control, and notification to the emergency response team in the event of an incident. Peregrine will be providing a First Responder Panel available at the property boundary, which will provide this level of detailed reporting in an easily accessible and understandable interface for first responders. Peregrine’s team and technology have a 100% safety record.

From an environmental standpoint, Project Olive will have zero emissions and will not require a permit from environmental regulators.
