en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spanish energy company Iberdrola announced that it will build the Shutler battery energy storage project in Gilliam County, Oregon, through its US subsidiary Avangrid. The project has an installed capacity of 41 MW and an energy storage capacity of 82 MWh, and is scheduled to begin operations in 2027.

The Shutler project aims to enhance the stability of the power system along the Pacific Northwest coast of the United States. The battery system can store energy during periods of low demand or peak renewable energy generation and release it when needed to achieve real-time balance of electricity supply and demand. The project is located adjacent to Avangrid's other renewable energy facilities in the region, where Avangrid already has approximately 3,000 MW of installed generation capacity.

This project is part of Iberdrola's strategy to advance energy storage solutions, aimed at promoting renewable energy integration and enhancing the operational resilience of the power system in an increasingly electrified context. It is estimated that a single discharge from the Shutler project can meet the electricity needs of approximately 3,000 US households, and its construction will create about 35 local union jobs.
