About the Project
Birdseye Energy Storage is a 199MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project being developed and planned in Adams County. Birdseye Energy Storage is a resilient, clean and cost-effective solution to an increasing demand for reliable domestic energy. Birdseye Energy Storage has the potential to deliver significant investment in Adams County and provide long-term benefits, including new local jobs, increased tax revenue to support essential services, community benefits, and enhanced energy reliability, creating a lasting positive impact for future generations.
Battery Energy Storage 101
Battery Energy Storage Systems allow for the storage of energy so it can be discharged on an as-needed basis. Battery Energy Storage Systems provide many important functions, such as:
Providing power during emergencies and extreme weather events preventing blackouts
Lowering costs by storing energy when the price of electricity is low and discharging it back onto the grid during peak demand
Creating a more reliable grid by instantaneously balancing the power supply with demand
Providing an alternative to wired electrical systems, reducing the need for costly grid upgrades
Diversifies the United States energy portfolio increasing the resiliency of our domestic energy supply
