Project Overview

 

Mountain Peak Energy Storage (Mountain Peak) is ideally located in Saline County, Kansas, to be developed adjacent to the 345kV Evergy Summit substation. The battery storage facility will provide capacity and energy services to the regional electrical grid, enhancing grid reliability, helping to make the transmission grid more efficient, and accelerating the integration of advanced technology energy resources.

Construction of the Mountain Peak Energy Storage facility is anticipated to start in 2027, using American-manufactured batteries. The 2028 completion of the facility will ensure that Kansas meets its reliability needs. Situated directly adjacent to existing transmission lines and the existing substation, the site will have no adverse environmental impacts. The facility site is an optimal location for new energy infrastructure as it will eliminate the need for long transmission lines to connect it to the existing power grid and is a conducive use to the surrounding infrastructure.
