The Project
Millville Plains Solar + Storage Project
140 MWdc Solar | 120 MWac / 960 MWh Energy Storage
Located 15 miles southeast of Redding, CA, this utility-scale solar + battery project brings a powerful clean energy solution to Shasta County and the state.
Key Benefits
Supports California’s Resource Adequacy and Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) targets.
Delivers clean power during peak demand through 8-hour LFP battery storage.
Creates hundreds of construction jobs and millions of dollars in local tax revenue.
Designed with long-term stewardship, safety, and local compatibility in mind.
LFP Batteries Are the Safest Battery Choice
Thermal Stability.
LFP batteries offer significantly greater thermal stability than most other Li-Ion batteries. Research demonstrates that they are far less likely to overheat or ignite, making them an especially safe choice for large-scale energy storage applications.
Practical Advantages.
LFP batteries significantly lower the risks of thermal run away ensuring safer operation and energy storage.
Chemical Stability.
The use of iron phosphate as the cathode material results in a more stable and less reactive chemical composition. This reduces the chances of hazardous chemical reactions under various operational conditions.
Public Safety.
With reduced risks and increased safety measures, the use of LFP BESS supports the safety and well-being of the project neighbors and the local communities.
Stress Resistance.
LFP batteries are better equipped to endure physical and electrical stress without compromising their safety profile. Extensive testing has shown that they exhibit minimal degradation or failure in high-stress scenarios, making them highly resilient for practical use.
