Document Description
Lighthouse Pier S, LLC formally known as Pier S Energy Storage LLC proposes to construct and operate a 70-megawatt (MW) battery energy storage system (BESS) on approximately 2.9 acres of the existing, privately-owned 18.03-acre power generation site on Pier S, consisting of installing approximately 100 individual fire-rated metal enclosures, each containing lithium-ion battery cells consolidated into racks, a direct current collection system, an alternating current distribution for auxiliary power, a generation-tie transmission line, fiber optic cables, supervisory control and data acquisition equipment, a communications system, cooling, safety, and monitoring systems, a power conversion system to connect the BESS, and a new 66 kilovolt (kv) substation to transform the voltage between the power conversion system and the Southern California Edison electrical transmission system. The existing, 66 kv Southern California Edison Long Beach Bus Substation located adjacent to the proposed Project site to the north would also be upgraded. To accommodate the BESS facility, a former warehouse/receiving building, locker building, fabrication/machine shop, and sections of abandoned concrete saltwater intake pipes would be demolished.
