Summersweet Energy Center

The Summersweet Energy Center is a proposed 150 megawatt / 600 megawatt-hour energy storage project that will interconnect to an existing Dominion substation. At peak output, this project will discharge the electricity necessary to power nearly 75,000 homes equivalent for a 4 hour period.

The project will be sited on approximately 16 acres of industrial zoned land west of the village of Morrisville, next to a county trash collection center and on a former junk yard.

PROJECT A GLANCE:

• Electrical grid impact: Enhance the reliability and resiliency of the local electrical grid 
• Economic Impact:Contribute to the county’s economic development through the payment of taxes with minimal to zero use of County services.
• Environmental impact: The project has no air pollutions emissions and limited noise pollution 
• Safety: The project will adhere to all relevant codes and standards for battery energy storage systems consistent with industry standards. We will coordinate closely with first responders.
• Traffic impact: After construction, there will be no long term impact on traffic – Less than 1 car per day during operations
