El Sol Energy Storage Center increases Invenergy’s Arizona storage portfolio to nearly 200 MW

August 29, 2024 – Invenergy, the leading privately-held developer, owner, and operator of sustainable energy solutions, announced completion of the El Sol Energy Storage Center (50 MW), marking its 10th battery energy storage project in Arizona to reach commercial operations since the start of 2023. Notably, Invenergy’s project portfolio accounts for nearly half of all storage facilities to come online in the Grand Canyon State during that same timeframe.  

“The start of commercial operations at El Sol is an exciting milestone for Invenergy, marking our 10th storage project online in the state which helps meet the high customer demand for clean energy in Arizona,” said 

Jim Shield, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Invenergy

. “Our investment in clean energy storage nationwide recognizes the growing need for diverse and safe energy sources and infrastructure that provides Americans with more reliable, affordable electricity year-round.”

All projects have been developed for Arizona Public Service (APS) in Maricopa and Yuma Counties and added nearly 200 MW to the state’s clean energy capacity to power residents and businesses throughout Arizona.

“Arizona has experienced an extended stretch of triple-digit temperatures this summer and APS customers have used a record-breaking amount of energy as they run their air conditioners to stay cool. Adding renewable projects like the El Sol Energy Storage Center to our already diverse power supply will help APS continue to deliver the reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy our customers count on, especially on our hottest summer days,” said

“It’s exciting to see Invenergy’s significant investment in energy storage come to life through the El Sol Energy Storage Center. This project brings increased revenues into local Arizona communities and supports energy resiliency, reliability and affordability for Arizona residents and businesses,” said 

Maren Mahoney, Director of Arizona Governor’s Office of Resiliency

. “Projects like these are critical as our energy demand grows and El Sol demonstrates the potential for sustainable, private sector-led growth.”

Invenergy’s Arizona storage projects have brought millions of dollars of investment into the local economy, helping to fund public schools, emergency services, and local infrastructure. The projects include Desert Star, Paloma, Cotton Center, Gila Bend I & II, Hyder I & II, Foothills I & II and El Sol. Invenergy also has additional solar and storage projects in development throughout Arizona. Later this year, the Yuma Solar Energy Center (70 MW) is anticipated to begin operations, and the Hashknife Solar Energy Center (275 MW) is expected to begin construction. Invenergy’s growing project portfolio in the state invests millions in local taxes and landowner payments while powering over 40,000 Arizona homes with clean electricity every year.

today announced a new multiyear partnership, making the Chicago-based global developer, owner and operator of clean energy solutions the “Official Solar Provider” of the Cubs and Wrigley Field, a first for the club. 

“We’re proud to welcome Chicago-based Invenergy to the Cubs family as our new solar provider,” said Cubs Executive Chairman Tom Ricketts. “Being a good neighbor is important to us, and this partnership with Invenergy strengthens that commitment by helping to bring clean energy to the community through the solar projects. It also furthers our overall efforts to be more energy efficient and sustainable.” 

Through this partnership, the Cubs will become an “anchor tenant” of several community solar projects developed by Invenergy company Reactivate, who develops, owns and operates distributed generation solar and storage projects. Community solar allows subscribing customers to realize the financial benefits of clean energy without owning a property or the upfront costs for solar. For renters, low-to-moderate income households and many local businesses, community solar is one of the few zero-upfront-cost options for saving money on electricity bills.

"Invenergy has called Chicago home for over 20 years and we are proud to team up with the Chicago Cubs on this transformative partnership,” said Invenergy Founder and CEO Michael Polsky. “As the premier leader in clean energy solutions, Invenergy is currently expanding our Chicago headquarters and growing our global workforce to meet the increased demand for cleaner, more reliable, affordable energy. It is important to see iconic brands like the Chicago Cubs commit to being an active player in the clean energy transition and power Wrigley Field with community solar for seasons to come.”

Reactivate’s community solar projects aim to eventually generate enough renewable energy to help offset the energy usage of Wrigley Field and extend renewable energy to select Cubs Charities Diamond Project recipients. More information on the community solar projects and their impact will be provided at a later date. Fans also will notice new Invenergy signage in the ballpark on the left center outfield door.
