600 MW Combined-Cycle Solar Project: Ørsted Completes Four-Hour Battery Storage in The USA

Frederica, Denmark - Danish energy company Ørsted has announced the official commissioning of the Eleven Mile Solar Center in Pinal County near Phoenix, Arizona.

The 300 MW solar farm and 300 MW/1200 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) have the capacity to produce enough energy to power 65,000 homes and store 1,200 MWh of electricity daily.

The Eleven Mile Solar Center will power businesses, homes and Meta's planned data center in Mesa, Arizona. “Solar energy paired with battery energy storage will be critical to the reliable delivery of power as the demand for electricity grows,” said David Hardy, Executive Vice President and CEO of Ørsted's Americas region.

With the Eleven Mile Solar Center, Ørsted now has 5.6 GW (5,600 MW) of onshore renewable assets in operation worldwide.
