Arevon Energy Celebrates Nighthawk Energy Storage Project

On July 31, 2025, Arevon Energy, Inc., a prominent American energy developer, held a significant celebration in Poway, California, marking the construction progress of its Nighthawk Energy Storage Project. This project, with a capacity of 300 megawatts (MW) and 1,200 megawatt-hours, aims to power approximately 385,000 homes during peak electricity demand for up to four hours daily.

The Nighthawk Energy Storage Project represents a $600 million investment by Arevon, which not only includes the construction costs but also anticipates over $30 million in payments to local governments to support infrastructure, schools, and public services in the vicinity. The city of Poway is set to receive around $12 million from this total. This project will employ over 130 workers during the peak of construction, which is expected to stimulate economic growth in the area by channeling revenue into local businesses, restaurants, and hotels.

In 2021, Arevon entered a long-term contract ensuring Nighthawk's role in providing energy and resource adequacy to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PGE). Situated at the Sycamore Canyon Substation on Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, the facility will directly connect to the grid, enhancing energy distribution across the Greater San Diego region.

The Nighthawk Energy Storage Project employs utility-scale battery systems that store electricity during low-demand periods, allowing for rapid discharge to the grid during peak demand. Such strategic location and technological innovation reduce the risks of brownouts and blackouts, ensuring a reliable energy supply. Equipped with modern lithium iron phosphate batteries, the project utilizes the safest technology available today. Arevon emphasizes safety, having adeptly managed its energy storage facilities since its inception in 2021.

Kevin Smith, Arevon's CEO, highlighted the significance of Nighthawk, noting the company's extensive experience and solid reputation in safely deploying renewable energy solutions. He stated, "What sets us apart is our proven track record in developing reliable battery storage projects combined with a comprehensive safety approach, which also includes our collaboration with the Poway Fire Department to mitigate any potential incidents."

In addition to its main project operations, Arevon demonstrates commitment to community engagement. Notable initiatives include:

• - Establishment of a $2 million community fund by Poway for public projects.
• - Funding for public safety programs and community events through the Scripps Ranch Civic Association.
• - Support for youth development and social responsibility initiatives at the Rancho Family YMCA.
• - Sponsorship of police and community events through the Deputy Sheriffs' Association of San Diego County.
• - Participation in local commerce through support of events like the Poway Fall Festival and partnership with the local Chamber of Commerce.
• - Engaging with organizations that support individuals with special needs through the North County Special Needs Foundation.
• - Sponsorship of climate initiatives including the 2024 Nexus Climate Summit.

As a major player in the national renewable energy landscape, Arevon currently operates over 4.7 gigawatts of solar and energy storage projects across 17 states, with an impressive capital investment of over $9.6 billion. With an additional 1.5 gigawatts under construction, the company is positioning itself as a front-runner in fostering America's clean energy future.

Through its strategic initiatives and commitment to local communities, Arevon Energy continues to strengthen its presence not just as an energy producer but as a proactive community partner, reinforcing its mission to deliver affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy.
