Arevon Celebrates Commencement of Operations at the 300-MW Nighthawk Energy Storage Project in California

LCG, August 12, 2026--Arevon Energy, Inc., an energy developer, owner, and operator, today announced that its 300 MW/1,200 MWh Nighthawk Energy Storage Project in Poway, California, is now operational. Arevon celebrated the project's completion with an on-site ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by project partners, local officials, and others who helped bring the project online. Nighthawk, the largest standalone storage facility in the company's portfolio, should enhance system reliability and is among the San Diego region's most significant energy storage facilities.

Arevon developed, constructed, owns, and operates the project, which is under a long-term agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). The project is expected to help advance California's reliability and clean energy goals. Arevon estimates that Nighthawk, over its lifetime, will generate over $30 million in property tax revenue to fund local schools, public safety, infrastructure improvements, and other community services.

The Nighthawk standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) uses lithium iron phosphate battery technology to store electricity during periods of lower demand and to dispatch electricity when demand is highest in order to enhance grid reliability.

Arevon's Chief Executive Officer stated, "Energy storage is becoming increasingly important as electricity demand continues to rise across California and the United States. Projects like Nighthawk are critical to America's growing energy needs because they strengthen grid reliability while delivering lasting economic benefits for local communities. We are proud to have developed, constructed, and brought Nighthawk online, and we look forward to its continued contribution to the San Diego region for years to come."

San Diego County's District 2 Supervisor said, "One thing that clean, green energy has taught us: battery storage is essential. This project strengthens our infrastructure, boosts our local economy, supports grid reliability, and provides enough capacity to power up to 385,000 homes when we need it most."

The Executive Director at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) said, "Projects like Nighthawk demonstrate how thoughtful planning, strong partnerships, and targeted investment can deliver the reliable, clean energy resources California needs. Through the CPUC's integrated resource planning and mid-term reliability procurement programs, we identified the need for new energy storage to maintain reliability as the grid evolves. Nighthawk is an important example of that planning becoming reality, helping strengthen grid reliability, support California's clean energy transition, and ensure customers continue to receive safe, affordable, and dependable electric service."

Arevon believes that the Nighthawk Energy Storage Project demonstrates Arevon's continued investment in reliable, domestically produced energy infrastructure that strengthens the electric grid, drives economic growth, and advances America's energy independence. The company states that it is one of California's leading renewable energy developers, owners, and operators, with more than 4 GW in operation, and that, in total, the company operates more than 6.3 GW of solar and energy storage projects across 18 states.
