Fairfield Harbor is a 5 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) located in Craven County, North Carolina. The plant began operating in 2024 and is owned and operated by North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation. It is interconnected to the Duke Energy Progress East balancing authority within the SERC NERC region. The facility ranks 20th out of 36 utility-scale battery storage plants in North Carolina, and 987th nationally out of 1205 such plants.
The plant consists of a single generator utilizing lithium-ion batteries (LIB) with a total storage capacity of 10 MWh. The batteries have a duration of 2 hours at the full 5 MW discharge rate. The plant's primary fuel type is listed as "MWH," indicating that it draws power from the grid to charge the batteries.

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.

This plant's balancing authority participates in the Southeast Energy Exchange Market (SEEM). SEEM is a bilateral exchange — no public nodal pricing.
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.
