Engineers from Transelec, the leading power transmission company in Chile, toured Vistra’s Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility on April 11th. Transelec, a company with more than 70 years of industry experience, is looking towards the future and is working on a design for a 500MW/500MWh battery storage project.
Chilean engineers toured the Moss Landing facility for three hours to learn about the general layout, the type of batteries used, transformer design, cooling and temperature monitoring, fire protection, and disposal and recycling process.
Vistra’s Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility is the largest in the world, with a 350-megawatt expansion underway that will bring the facility’s total capacity to 750 MW/3,000 MWh. This enormous lithium-ion battery system is co-located on the site of the existing Moss Landing Power Plant in Monterey County, a site that’s been providing electricity to Californians since 1950.
