Hybrid Microgrid to Provide 25 MW of Power for Southern California Manufacturing Campus

A 25-MW hybrid microgrid is being deployed at a commercial and industrial campus in Southern California to provide power for an advanced manufacturing tenant while the site awaits a permanent utility grid upgrade.

Industrial power solutions provider Critical Loop is supplying the system at a campus owned by SRG COMMERCIAL. The project is designed to address a gap between the tenant's planned commercial operation date in early 2027 and the utility's timeline for providing sufficient grid capacity.

The 18-month deployment is designed to deliver 25 MW of total capacity within nine months of contract execution and remain in operation until the campus receives its permanent grid upgrade.

The local utility connection currently provides approximately 7 MW of firm capacity and an additional 2 MW through a flexible service connection. The hybrid microgrid will supplement that capacity through a combination of battery storage and onsite generation.

The system will include 12 MW/60 MWh of battery energy storage, which will serve as the primary source of supplemental power. Onsite generation will provide ad...
