WOODLAND, CA – January 23, 2024 – Clean energy leader Enel North America and Bayer today announced the completion of a 2.7 MW solar and 1 MW / 2 MWh energy storage system at Bayer’s vegetable research and development site in Woodland, Calif. Located in a region historically prone to rolling blackouts and grid disruptions, the solar-plus-storage system will help increase Bayer’s energy and operational resilience, while also reducing its carbon footprint and demand on local energy infrastructure.

“We admire Bayer’s commitment to find projects near its Idaho facility, which has the highest electricity use within Bayer in the United States, signifying a major milestone in their global energy goals.” Energy storage is a vital technological component in the successful transition to clean energy.
A key strategy to achieving Bayer’s reduction targets, which have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, is to purchase 100% sustainable renewable electricity by 2030. Bayer has put a large focus on leveraging energy efficiency and clean energy resources to achieve its robust, science-based sustainability targets.
"These solar installations are a strong signal to our employees, customers and communities where we live and operate of our commitment to GHG emission reduction," says Delf Bintakies, Global Head of Sustainability, Safety, Health & Environments (SSHE) at Bayer. "Bayer sets specific criteria for its own procurement of green energy.
“As an innovation driven company, Bayer recognizes the need to introduce renewable energy solutions that are healthier for the planet and healthier for humans,” said Bayer EVP of Public Affairs, Science, Sustainability and HSE Matthias Berninger.
"Bayer sets specific criteria for its own procurement of green energy. This includes the proximity of energy production facilities to Bayer sites, the use of new sources of generation and a focus on wind and solar power."

Pumped storage plants can operate with seawater, although there are additional challenges compared to using fresh water, such as saltwater corrosion and barnacle growth. Inaugurated in 1966, the 240 MW in France can partially work as a pumped-storage station. When high tides occur at off-peak hours, the turbines can be used to pump more seawater into the reservoir than the high tide would have naturally brought in. It is the only larg. [pdf]
