Prospect Power Facility: A Milestone in Virginia's Energy Future

Elevate Infrastructure and ArcLight Capital Unveil Prospect Power

On June 11, 2026, Elevate Infrastructure and ArcLight Capital Partners marked a significant milestone for Virginia's energy landscape by celebrating the opening of Prospect Power Storage. Located in Rockingham County, this facility boasts a capacity of 150 megawatts (MW) and can store up to 600 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy, solidifying its position as the largest standalone battery storage asset within both Virginia and the PJM Interconnection region.

The ceremony was attended by a distinguished group, including representatives from Elevate, ArcLight, Dominion Energy, various local officials, and community leaders. Together, they acknowledged the importance of Prospect Power in fostering grid reliability and improving system flexibility to accommodate the increasing electricity demands of the Commonwealth.

Joshua Rogol, CEO of Elevate, expressed his excitement about the project, stating, "Today marks an important milestone for Elevate and for Virginia's energy future. Prospect Power demonstrates how Elevate executes utility-scale battery storage at scale, reinforcing grid reliability and stimulating economic growth. We are grateful to our investors and partners for their support in making this project a reality."

Prospect Power aligns with Elevate's overarching strategy to invest in critical energy infrastructure within markets that face rapid electricity demand growth. With backing from ArcLight, the project reflects a broader initiative to establish a portfolio of utility-scale battery storage assets designed to boost grid reliability and facilitate long-term economic development.

Angelo Acconcia, Managing Partner at ArcLight, lauded the efforts behind Prospect Power, stating, "As power needs accelerate, propelled by advancements in AI, reshoring, and electrification, we recognize that battery storage plays a pivotal role in bolstering both grid capacity and reliability. Elevate is at the forefront of delivering these vital solutions."

The facility’s capacity enables it to provide immediate power responses and manage energy storage effectively, essential in addressing fluctuating energy demands. This capability is increasingly crucial as Virginia's energy consumption escalates.

"This venture enhances battery storage capacity within PJM by over 50%, marking a significant step forward for our region's energy storage capabilities," remarked Stu Bresler, COO of PJM. He emphasized how such resources improve grid functionality and reliability as consumer demand rises.

Virginia's strategic investment policies aimed at strengthening the electric grid coincide with the opening of Prospect Power. Josephus Allmond, Virginia's Chief Energy Officer, underscored this by stating, "As we see growth in energy requirements, projects like Prospect Power are essential for maintaining a reliable and resilient electric grid for our citizens and businesses. Utility-scale battery storage is integral to our energy strategy and offers the flexibility needed to adapt to surging demands."

Furthermore, the facility aims to deliver substantial benefits to Rockingham County through revenue-sharing initiatives and contributions to property taxes. It also establishes a connection with the community as an annual sponsor of the Rockingham County Fair, highlighting Elevate's commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Acquired in January 2026, Prospect Power is part of Elevate’s broader mission to cultivate, develop, and manage utility-scale battery storage projects within high-growth energy markets. This accomplishment follows other significant advancements for Elevate, such as their inclusion in New Jersey’s Garden State Energy Storage Program and securing financing for solar and battery projects.

As energy demands continue to surge across the United States, propelled by technological advancements and the increasing need for electrification, Elevate and ArcLight are dedicated to ensuring that reliable power remains accessible. By delivering adaptable, utility-scale energy infrastructure tailored to high-demand markets, they are building the essential framework for powering communities and supporting a robust digital economy.
