Wake RJ3 Solar Energy Storage is a hybrid power plant located in Wake County, North Carolina. The plant, owned and operated by North Carolina El Member Corp, began operating in 2023. It has a total capacity of 1.1 MW derived from solar photovoltaic generation coupled with battery energy storage. The facility consists of two generators utilizing both solar and battery technologies. The battery energy storage system (BESS) has a storage capacity of 1.1 MWh and a duration of 1.83 hours, employing lithium-ion battery chemistry (LIB). The solar array uses a fixed-tilt tracking system.
The plant's latest annual generation was 21 MWh, resulting in a capacity factor of 0.2%. Wake RJ3 operates within the Duke Energy Progress East balancing authority and the SERC NERC region. It is ranked as the 35th largest plant out of 36 in North Carolina, and 1191st nationally out of 1205 plants. The plant's primary fuel type is listed as MWH, reflecting its reliance on stored energy.
