AES Corporation announced it has canceled a proposed Jewelflower Battery Energy Storage System on a 128-acre site in the Coyote Valley near Morgan Hill. The project would have placed hundreds of containerized lithium‑ion battery units across roughly 40 acres of prime farmland in North Coyote Valley. It has proposed a solar and storage project in Los Angeles County and a battery storage facility in Riverside County. “By storing power and delivering it when it is most needed, energy storage will provide much needed resiliency and flexibility to the power grid. The Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority Board of Directors voted unanimously in late May to oppose the proposed AES Jewelflower plant in Coyote Valley.
