Overall, the project comprises more than 60 megawatt-hours of energy storage capacity and more than 24 megawatts of power capacity and will be funded by $130 million from Wasatch and external investors. The project&#8217;s completion is slated for 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The first property to benefit from the solar plus storage retrofit work is the 417-unit Heron Pointe in Fresno, Calif., and work is slated to begin in September. Heron Pointe is a 94-building property spread out across more than 29 acres at 5200 North Valentine Ave., completed in 1987. According to Yardi Matrix data, the asset has been under Wasatch\u2019s ownership since 1998 when it had acquired it from Siroonian Properties for almost $25 million.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/energy-storage-plenty-in-store\/\">Energy Storage: Plenty in Store<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>All Wasatch California VPP fleets will feature sonnen ecoLinx intelligent battery storage systems, and individual sonnen systems within each community will have the ability to communicate with each other as a single intelligent battery asset, optimizing the community\u2019s solar production, grid usage and individual apartment loads.
