Anoka BESS is a 6 MW battery energy storage system located in Anoka County, Minnesota. The plant began operating in 2018 and is owned and operated by Gopher Energy Storage, LLC. It is interconnected to the Midcontinent Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (MISO) balancing authority, within the broader MRO NERC region. The facility is ranked as the fourth-largest of six battery storage plants in Minnesota, and 934th nationally out of 1205 such plants.
The Anoka BESS facility consists of a single generator utilizing battery technology. The system has a total storage capacity of 12 MWh, providing a duration of 2 hours at its full 6 MW output. The battery chemistry used is lithium-ion (LIB). The plant's primary fuel is electricity (MWH), reflecting its role in storing and dispatching power rather than generating it directly from a fuel source.

Capacity Factor
Positive values indicate net discharge (generation exceeds station load). Negative values indicate net charging. Pure battery storage plants are typically net negative due to round-trip efficiency losses.

No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
