Community Benefits

The Crossroads 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 to enhance reliability and resilience of the electrical grid. With no air-polluting emissions, it will make the local community’s electrical grid more reliable while decreasing the state’s energy-related emissions.  Moreover, the new facility will reduce the surrounding neighborhood’s existing traffic-related emissions and noise. Significant additional project benefits to the community include:

• High-paying construction and O&M jobs

• Enhanced resiliency from a new, state-of-the-art power resource  

• Expanded property tax base for the local district
