Community Benefits
The Black Kettle Energy Storage facility is designed to be a good neighbor and a long-term asset to the surrounding community. It will deliver critical capacity to the region without generating any air-polluting emissions. As a non-emitting, static facility with negligible traffic and minimal demand on municipal services, its impact on nearby residents will be minimal. Key benefits to the community include:
High-paying construction jobs
Enhanced resiliency from a new, state-of-the-art power resource
Expanded property tax base for the local district
