AES Corporation Cancels Jewelflower Battery Project in Coyote Valley
AES Corporation has terminated plans for the Jewelflower Battery Energy Storage System in Coyote Valley, California, due to community opposition and project evaluations. This project, which aimed to utilize a 128-acre site, faced significant resistance from local stakeholders concerned about land use and environmental impact.

AES Corporation has canceled its plans for a 350 MegaWatt lithium-ion battery storage project in Coyote Valley, California. The decision followed evaluations of project economics, infrastructure needs, and community input, with no permit application submitted.
The proposed site, located on prime farmland, faced opposition from local groups and elected officials, emphasizing conservation efforts in the area. Last year, AES also withdrew a similar project in North San Diego County due to community backlash.
The Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority unanimously opposed the project, citing concerns about its environmental impact and proximity to a local charter school. AES operates various solar and storage facilities across California and remains committed to energy storage as part of its strategic development.
