Loading...The Kuna Battery Energy Storage Facility represents a major leap forward in Idaho’s transition to clean energy, delivering cutting-edge technology and lasting value for the local community. Spearheaded by Cupertino Electric, a trusted NECA contractor, and partnering with the skilled electricians of IBEW Local 291, this 150 megawatt, 600 megawatt-hour facility now stands as the largest battery energy storage project in the state.
This facility is more than just a technical milestone; it’s a critical investment in energy security and grid stability for the region. By storing energy during off-peak hours and releasing it when demand surges, the system helps reduce strain, prevent outages, and ensure consistent power delivery to homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses. It also plays a key role in integrating renewable resources into the power supply, making the grid more flexible, resilient, and future-ready.
The success of this initiative was made possible by the unmatched collaboration between NECA and IBEW. The NECA/IBEW team brings together deep technical expertise, rigorous safety standards, and world-class training to complete projects on time and to the highest standards. This partnership continues to set the benchmark for battery storage construction in Idaho and across the country.
As the demand for clean, reliable energy grows, battery energy storage will be essential in meeting our national energy goals. The Kuna project proves what’s possible when innovation, strategy, and skilled union labor come together to power progress.
