Wärtsilä is in the final construction stages of the LeConte energy storage project, a 250 MWh system in Calexico, Calif., that Wärtsilä – as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor – is building for REV Renewables. The LeConte system was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission in early 2022 as part of a plan to build 15 GW of new energy storage and demand response resources by 2032 to ensure long-term reliability and meet the state's renewable portfolio standard.
