Local Outreach
Plus Power has been developing Scarlet Energy Storage with a focus on meeting the needs of the Dominion Energy grid and the customers it serves. We are committed to working with the Spotsylvania County community and keeping its residents involved throughout the development process.
Community Benefits
The Scarlet 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 Scarlet Energy Storage facility will have little impact on neighbors. Significant project benefits to the community include:
High-paying construction jobs
Enhanced resiliency from a state-of-the-art power resource
Expanded property tax base for the local district, equivalent to 582 households
