FAQs

Where will the project be located?

Woods Landing Energy Storage will be located at the end of River Road, north of Sayreville Blvd, in Sayreville and on the sitecoal-fired power plant. The project will connect to the electrical grid via a short generation tie-line to the Raritan River substation to the north

What will be located at the facility?

The Project will include the following equipment and associated facilities:

Lithium-ion batteries
Battery energy storage system containers
Thermal management systems for temperature control
Fire detection and suppression systems
Electric control equipment
Power Conversion Systems (inverters/transformers)
Step-up transformer and project substation, including lightning protection, a control enclosure, and internal fencing
Communications equipment
A perimeter fence and security gate
Generator tie-line for utility interconnection
Other facilities required for construction and operation of the Energy Storage Facility

What will the facility look like?

The Project facilities will utilize approximately 9 acres of the approximately 40.5-acre site. The project will be a containerized, open-air installation with structural supports to elevate project components.

Is battery storage safe?

Yes. Safety is our top priority during construction, operations, and for the entire life of the project. Under normal operations, the project will not directly produce fumes, pollution, odor, dust, or other offsite impacts that would result in health impacts to those nearby. Once construction is complete, the project will not lead to increased traffic on local roads.

Jupiter Power is always evaluating equipment and the newest industry developments for preventative maintenance for safe battery energy storage facilities. We will also train first and secondary responders in the community on an ongoing basis. Each battery cell within the building is individually monitored, providing constant, 24/7 oversight capability over every component of the Project. Each building is equipped with an integrated system of sensors, alarms, and fire suppression systems. The operational management systems will be designed, installed, and operated according to national Fire Code standards and regulations. All Jupiter Power battery systems are fire safety tested according to strict Underwriters Laboratory protocols.
‍
Safe operations are enhanced by design parameters; state-of-the-art technology for monitoring, alarm, and fire suppression systems; and clear, open, and regular communication with first responders. To that end, we will work closely with the Sayreville Fire Department, other emergency responders, and local stakeholders throughout the project design process and look forward to continuing that cooperation throughout the operating project life.

How will this project benefit the community?

The Project will benefit residents and businesses by improving the power grid and supporting the local economy.

Project development plans for the site include extensive clean-up of the site on the shore of the Raritan River prior to construction. Infrastructure from the former coal power plant facilities will be removed and the land will be remediated to regulatory standards to address historic pollution conditions.

Battery energy storage is a proven technology that provides increased power to the grid and other grid management capabilities, like grid balancing through instantaneous battery energy storage response. With these capabilities, the Project will deliver more reliable power for residents and businesses—all without building new transmission infrastructure.

The Project would represent a significant financial investment in Sayreville. The Project will generate local property tax revenue for the borough for the life of the project by investing in a project on a currently inactive, unused site.

Jupiter Power is an independent power producer focused on the development, construction, ownership, trading and optimization of energy storage resources in the U.S.
