The Alamo facility is expected to begin commercial operations in the first half of 2026.
This contract represents another step forward in Matrix Renewables’ strategy to scale energy storage across the U.S. The company currently has more than 1 GW of battery storage projects under development in California alone.
“This agreement marks another milestone as we grow our battery energy storage footprint in California,” said Chris Matthew, Chief Commercial Officer at Matrix Renewables.
“Our investment reflects our confidence in the state’s clean energy future and the essential role energy storage plays in enabling it. We look forward to continuing to serve CCAs (Community Choice Aggregation) and other load-serving entities with reliable, emissions-free capacity.”
“Matrix is committed to building strong, long-term relationships in the communities where we operate, and the Alamo project supports economic development in Kern County,” explained Cindy Tindell, Managing Director and Head of U.S. for Matrix Renewables.
“Pioneer is proud to partner with Matrix Renewables to secure clean power that increases reliability for the California power grid,” said Vice Chair of Pioneer Community Energy’s Board of Directors and Rocklin City Councilmember Greg Janda.
“Not only does this agreement help ensure sufficient energy supplies, but it also supports low-cost energy and provides essential reliability for our customers, when it is needed most.”
In the U.S., Matrix has a portfolio exceeding 8.9 GW of renewable energy and battery storage projects in operation and in various stages of development, spanning five regional markets: CAISO, MISO, SPP, ERCOT, and WECC. Globally, Matrix’s portfolio surpasses 15.5GW of solar power, battery storage, and green hydrogen projects.
