EnSync, Inc. announced the sale of a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) it arranged on behalf of J. Walter Cameron Center (JWCC) to an undisclosed investor. The PPA will bring the nonprofit incubator space nearly half a million dollars in savings during the terms of the agreement. EnSync Energy's project engineers consulted with JWCC to size the non-exporting system to meet the center's current operational needs while allowing room for expansion. The resulting solar plus storage project encompasses a 148-kW photovoltaic (PV) installation and EnSync Energy's DER SuperModule™—244 kWh of energy storage supported by EnSync Energy's Matrix™ Energy Management System and DER Flex™ technologies. The alternating current, PV-only system directly serves the buildings' loads, and a direct current system connected to the SuperModule stores energy for off-peak solar hours and for demand charge mitigation. Beyond cost reductions from the lower PPA rate, JWCC will benefit from demand charge mitigation services, which will decrease the center's utility bills by relying on energy storage to manage high demand charges.
Construction will commence in the coming months.
