Arevon Energy has started construction on its 250-MW/1,000-MWh Cormorant Energy Storage Project in Daly City, California. The $600 million facility is expected to start operations 2027, and will be capable of powering approximately 321,000 homes for up to four hours.

Arevon will own and operate Cormorant Energy Storage under a long-term offtake agreement with MCE, an electricity provider that serves more than 1.8 million residents and businesses across Contra Costa, Marin, Napa and Solano counties. The project was originally planned at 188 MW/752 MWh and has since expanded.
Cormorant will use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology. Primoris is the project’s EPC contractor, and at peak construction it is expected to employ approximately 175 workers.
“The start of construction marks an important milestone for the Cormorant project and the Daly City community,” said Justin Johnson, CEO at Arevon. “Projects like Cormorant are critical to strengthening California’s energy grid by storing power when it’s abundant and delivering it when it’s needed most. Arevon is proud to continue investing in infrastructure that supports reliability, affordability, and California’s long-term clean energy goals.”
Arevon currently has 3.7 GW of renewable energy projects in operation, with 550 more currently under construction
“The Cormorant project demonstrates the importance of working closely with local leaders and community members as we develop projects that will operate for decades,” said Shanelle Montana, Chief Development Officer at Arevon. “Community engagement is not simply a box to check — it is a commitment to being present, authentic, and aligned with the people who will live alongside our projects. Arevon looks forward to continuing its partnership with the community throughout Cormorant’s construction and long-term operations.”
