AES Indiana Announces Approval of New Battery Energy Storage System

“For the past decade, AES Indiana has been on a journey to move to cleaner, more efficient and cost-effective energy solutions,” said Ken Zagzebski, President & CEO of AES Indiana. “In 2022, we filed our boldest sustainability plan to-date with the IURC and this announcement demonstrates our progress toward the commitment to a balanced and responsible energy transition.”

AES Indiana, a subsidiary of The AES Corporation, has received approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission for a stand-alone battery energy system in Pike County, marking a milestone in its energy transition. The Pike County Battery Energy Storage Project, located at AES Indiana’s Petersburg Generating Station, will provide 200 megawatts of installed capacity and 800 megawatt-hours of dispatchable energy. Expected to be operational by December 2024, the project aligns with AES Indiana’s sustainability commitments, including the addition of wind, solar, and battery energy storage over the next five years. By utilizing existing interconnection rights and tax credits, the project aims to reduce costs, benefiting AES Indiana customers.
