Arevon Energy has brought online the 300-MW/1,200-MWh Nighthawk Energy Storage Project in Poway, California. Nighthawk is the largest standalone battery storage project in the company’s portfolio.
The LFP battery system enhances grid reliability in the San Diego region through a long-term agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). Over its lifetime, Nighthawk is expected to generate over $30 million in property tax revenue. During peak construction, Nighthawk employed more than 130 workers.
“Energy storage is becoming increasingly important as electricity demand continues to rise across California and the United States. Projects like Nighthawk are critical to America’s growing energy needs because they strengthen grid reliability while delivering lasting economic benefits for local communities,” said Justin Johnson, Arevon CEO. “We are proud to have developed, constructed and brought Nighthawk online, and we look forward to its continued contribution to the San Diego region for years to come.”
Beyond the project’s economic benefits, Arevon has partnered with organizations throughout Poway and the greater San Diego community, supporting youth programs, first responders, special needs adult services, climate education, and local nonprofit organizations. Key partnerships include the North County Special Needs Community Foundation, Kiwanis Club of Poway and The Ranches, Rancho Family YMCA, the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association of San Diego County, and other local organizations.
“When I learned about Arevon’s Nighthawk Energy Storage Project, we connected to discuss several local programs supporting the special needs community in the Poway area, and the Arevon team was enthusiastic about learning more,” said Tony Rubino, President at North County Special Needs Community Foundation. “It was evident to me from the beginning that the company was genuinely committed to engaging with and supporting the local community. I am grateful to the Arevon team for its positive attitude and commitment to following through on that promise. The company has been very supportive of several local special needs events, and we appreciate its continued partnership.”
