Sierra Pinta Energy Storage
Yuma County, AZ
Project Overview
Leeward Renewable Energy (LRE) is constructing the 112.5-megawatt (MW) Sierra Pinta Energy Storage project in Arizona Yuma County. Sierra Pinta Energy Storage is a standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) designed to store and dispatch clean power during peak load times.
The project will be located on approximately 10 acres in Yuma County and is adjacent to LRE’s 179-MW White Wing Ranch Solar project, which achieved commercial operation in October 2024.
Sierra Pinta Energy Storage supports the continued deployment of renewable energy and is designed to meet the most stringent safety requirements. It will have a storage capacity of 450 MWh of clean power that can be dispatched during peak load times to meet demand. This storage capacity is equivalent to the energy needed to power over 90,100 U.S. homes 1 for four hours. Given the interconnected nature of the electric system in Arizona and California, the Sierra Pinta project will advance the energy and grid resiliency objectives of both states.
