Avantus and Clean Power Alliance Sign PPA for 200-MW Solar Plus Storage Facility for Southern California Communities
LCG, July 13, 2026--Avantus, an independent power producer (IPP), and Clean Power Alliance (CPA) today announced a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the Rexford 2 solar and storage project in Tulare County, California. The project will deliver 200 MWac of solar power combined with a 200 MW/800 MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) to the California grid. The project is scheduled to commence construction in 2027 and achieve operations in late 2028. Commercial operations under the PPA are scheduled to start in May 2029. Avantus plans to own and operate facility.
Fluence Energy will provide the project its Smartstack' battery energy storage solution, which uses domestically manufactured steel and components. On April 6, 2026, Fluence Energy announced the continued availability of U.S.-manufactured products that qualify for domestic content tax credits under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Avantus's Executive Vice President of Origination and Energy Markets stated, "California's energy demand is growing, and we're proud to develop and operate projects that deliver clean, reliable power. Together with Clean Power Alliance, we will strengthen the grid, bring high-quality jobs and local revenue to Tulare County, and provide affordable renewable energy that helps California meet its clean energy goals."
CPA's Vice President of Power Supply said, "Rexford 2 is a sound investment in California's clean energy future. This project provides a fixed long-term price, helping protect our customers from energy market volatility while delivering renewable energy and battery storage that can help meet demand when it matters most."
CPA partners with local leaders to provide greater access to renewable energy to Southern California, with 38 communities across Los Angeles and Ventura counties opting for clean electricity through CPA.
Avantus and CPA expect that the project will generate hundreds of millions of dollars in local tax revenue for Tulare County that will support public services and infrastructure.
Avantus stated that it is advancing a development portfolio across its core markets of California, Nevada and Arizona that is comprised of 13 GW of solar and 44 GWh of storage. Under its growing IPP strategy, Avantus states that it is on track to bring 5 GW of system capacity online by 2030, with 788 MW reaching commercial operation and 800 MW under construction by year end.
