Committed to Adams County
Birdseye Energy Storage will invest in Adams County without adding pressure on governmental services. Benefits include enhanced energy reliability, increased control over future energy costs, new local jobs, increased tax revenue to support essential services, and contribution to community partnerships.
Economic Benefits
Birdseye Energy Storage is committed to supporting the local workforce by creating opportunities for stable, well-paying jobs during the construction and maintenance of the project.
Birdseye Energy Storage will generate significant tax revenue that will benefit local schools, infrastructure, and community services without adding pressure on other governmental services.
Community Benefits
As part of the project’s commitment to being a good neighbor, Birdseye Energy Storage has established a quarterly community giving program that supports community-based organizations. In addition, Birdseye Energy Storage also plans to create local scholarship opportunities once the project is operational.
Energy Benefits
Aging transmission grids and inefficient power systems are costing us more money each year. Energy storage projects like the proposed Birdseye Energy Storage project will help control future energy price increases, reducing the burden on local families and businesses. The project will reduce the need to operate less efficient generation facilities and mitigate costly transmission problems.
Sustainability
Energy storage is essential for a power system that relies on zero-emissions energy sources.
America’s electric system is in the midst of a technological transformation. Infrastructure and generation built before the computer age is retiring. Zero-emissions power sources are being built at unprecedented scale, replacing fossil fueled generation. Transportation and industrial sectors are swapping fuels for electricity. And battery storage technology provides the flexibility that makes it all work reliably and affordably.
Flexible and Responsive
When charged during periods of excess solar, wind, or hydropower generation and discharged at times of high demand otherwise served by fuel-based generation, energy storage maximizes the use of renewable energy and reduces the carbon intensity of the power system. As storage provides more flexibility to the power system, fuel-based resources can also run less frequently and more efficiently, reducing emissions further.
Batteries are the fastest resource on the grid, providing electricity instantaneously in response to sudden changes in demand or disruptions to supply. In a future with more renewables and increasingly extreme weather, quick ramping from storage will ensure continuity of service.
Boosting Domestic Energy Supply
Birdseye Energy Storage directly supports efforts to increase national security and boost domestic supplies for our energy needs. After decades of relatively little change, U.S. energy consumption is forecasted to grow significantly through 2050, primarily resulting from the adoption of artificial intelligence and increased U.S. manufacturing. Birdseye Energy Storage is a resilient, clean, and cost-effective solution to an increasing demand for reliable domestic energy.
