Local Outreach

Plus Power has been developing Barrel Cactus Energy Storage with a focus on meeting the needs of the SRP grid and the customers it serves. We are committed to working with the City of Peoria and Maricopa County and keeping its residents involved throughout the development process.

Community Benefits

The Barrel Cactus Energy Storage facility will be a good neighbor and a valuable asset to the surrounding community for decades to come. The project will provide necessary capacity to the region with no air polluting emissions. As a static facility with insignificant traffic and minimal municipal services, the Barrel Cactus facility will have little impact on neighbors, located in an industrial Planned Area Development. Significant project 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
