Jackson Fuller Energy Storage is a system of large-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries that store electrical energy in the form of chemical energy, converting it back to electrical energy when needed. It supplements renewable energy sources like solar and wind by storing excess energy for use during low generation or discharging energy during peak consumption periods.
Jackson Fuller Energy Storage supports the Sustainable Energy Plan's (SEP) goal of acquiring new energy resources that reduce emissions and manage costs so we can meet the growing demands of our community. These systems also play a crucial role in modern energy infrastructure by providing stabilization and backup power, improving our system reliability. The system became operational in May 2025.
The system has a capacity of 100 megawatts and is owned and operated by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources.
The battery energy storage system is located at the Jackson Fuller substation, located in eastern El Paso County near East Woodmen Road and Golden Sage Road. The battery components occupy approximately 16 acres on the 36-acre substation site.
