World’s Largest Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Wednesday Jun 07, 2023
There are many ways to define the largest BESS and since the industry is growing so excitingly fast, it is difficult to explain exactly which is the largest.
We are going to talk about 7 big ones here:
1. Vistra: Moss Landing California US 2021 400MW/1600MWh
2. Crimson Storage: Blythe California US 2022 350MW/1400MWh
3. Manatee: Florida US 2021 (largest with PV) 409MW/900MWh
4. Victorian Big Battery: NSW Australia 2021 300MW/450MWh
5. McCoy Solar / BESS: Blythe California US 2021 230MW/920MWh
6. Elkhorn Battery: Moss Landing California US 2022 182.5MW/730MWh
Number 7 on this list is not the 7th largest battery today, but gets mentioned because it was once the largest in the world, first to reach 100MW way back in 2017 and was made because of a crazy social media bet.
If you are listening to this podcast in 10 years, it will be funny to compare these largest systems to the new largest BESSs in the world. What will they be? 100GWhs? Crazy to imagine this kind of growth!!
