Clean Energy and Innovation

Home > Clean Energy and Innovation

Since inception, LS Power has been a leader in commercializing and deploying innovations that drive a cleaner, more efficient electric grid. 

A reduction in the carbon intensity of the system is a long-term secular trend – a trend which we anticipated in constructing our platform to date and continues to inform our ongoing views of the opportunity set.

LS Power’s sustainability strategy is designed not only to disrupt, but also transform the industry by advocating for high-impact policies, developing new clean energy resources, optimizing existing power assets, and investing into emerging clean energy technologies. We are committed to reporting on our environmental, social and governance efforts on an annual basis, for which we encourage you to learn more by reading our 2020 Sustainability Report.

RENEWABLE GENERATION

Over a dozen years ago, LS Power became one of the first utility scale private developers of solar generation. Since then it has developed, constructed and operated multiple solar projects across the United States, with a combined total capital cost exceeding $1.8 billion.

Additionally, LS Power funds solar and distributed generation projects more broadly through its tax equity investment program, having committed support to over 20 projects since 2018.

Beyond solar and distributed generation, LS Power owns and operates other forms of zero carbon emitting resources, including hydro and wind projects.

ENERGY STORAGE

To complement the growth in renewable energy resources, LS Power has been at the forefront of battery energy storage development, for which it has a 250 MW and 40 MW project operating in California and over 4 GW of battery energy storage projects in development.

Furthermore, LS Power owns and operates the longest duration energy storage systems available through its large scale pumped hydro projects.

TRANSMISSION

To deliver these renewable resources to population centers and enhance grid reliability, LS Power has been active as one of the largest private developers of high voltage transmission infrastructure in the United States.

We champion competitive processes to drive innovation and lower costs for ratepayers.

GAS-FIRED GENERATION

LS Power’s roots in developing cutting edge technologies that displace legacy plants dates back to the 1990s, when it established itself as a leader in developing and operating efficient natural gas-fired combined cycle projects. These plants provide reliable, low cost electricity while emitting considerably less carbon dioxide and other pollutants than traditional electricity sources.

Our fleet of over 13,000 MW of fast-starting natural gas-fired plants complement intermittent wind and solar resources, improving the overall reliability of the grid and keeping the electricity flowing to our hospitals, schools, businesses and homes.
