Local Outreach

Plus Power has been developing Oso Negro Energy Storage with a focus on meeting the needs of the Tri-State grid and the customers it serves. We are committed to working with the City of Albuquerque and the Bernalillo County community and keeping the City involved throughout the development process.

Community Benefits

The Oso Negro 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 with no air polluting emissions. As a static facility with insignificant traffic and minimal municipal services, the Oso Negro facility will have little impact on neighbors. Significant project benefits to the community include: 

• High-paying construction jobs

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

• Expanded property tax base for the local district
