FAQs
Where will the project be located?
The proposed development site is a just over 5 acres (shaded blue) portion of a 54-acre (outlined in yellow) vacant property located on the north side of W Michigan Avenue between Schill Road and Dell Road in Saline Township. The site is near the Dorset electrical substation (outlined in orange). This site was chosen for its proximity to existing grid infrastructure.
What will be located at the facility?
The Project will include the following equipment and associated facilities:
Lithium-ion batteries
Battery energy storage system containers
Thermal management systems for temperature control
Fire detection and suppression systems
Electric control equipment
Power Conversion Systems (Inverters / transformers)
Step-up transformer and project substation, including lightning protection, a control enclosure, and internal fencing
Communications equipment
A perimeter fence and security gate
120kV generator tie-line and utility interconnection
Other facilities required for construction and operation of the Energy Storage Facility
Is battery storage safe?
Safety is our top priority during construction, operations, and for the life of the battery. Project operations will not directly produce fumes, pollution, odor, dust, or other offsite impacts that would result in health impacts to those nearby.
Jupiter Power is always evaluating equipment and the newest industry developments for preventative maintenance for safe battery energy storage facilities. We will also train all relevant first and secondary responders in the community, on an ongoing basis. Each battery cell within the building are individually monitored, providing constant, 24/7 oversight capability over every component of the Project. Each building is equipped with an integrated system of sensors, alarms, and fire suppression systems. The operational management systems will be designed, installed, and operated according to national Fire Code standards and regulations. All Jupiter Power battery systems are fire safety tested according to strict Underwriters Laboratory protocols.
Safe operations are enhanced by design parameters; state-of-the-art technology for monitoring, alarm, and fire suppression systems; and clear, open, and regular communication with first responders.
How will this project benefit the community?
The Project will benefit residents and businesses by improving the power grid and supporting the local economy.
Battery energy storage is a proven technology that provides increased power to the grid and other grid management capabilities, like grid balancing through instantaneous battery energy storage response. With these capabilities, the Project will deliver more reliable power for residents and businesses—all without building new transmission infrastructure funded by ratepayers.
The Project will represent a significant financial investment in the Saline Township. The Project will generate local tax revenue for the township for the life of the project.
When will construction start?
If local permitting efforts are successful, Jupiter Power hopes to start construction in June 2025.
