CAMS’ scope for the Big Rock BESS and neighboring Liebert Switchyard, which interconnects the adjacent 147 MW Campo Verde solar project with GSF’s BESS, encompasses a range of O&M services including preventative and corrective maintenance, remote operations, NERC compliance and advanced cybersecurity monitoring of the project’s information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) infrastructure. CAMS will leverage years of operating history in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) grid, along with best practices gathered across the 5-gigawatt-hour of BESS projects it supports across the United States, to ensure the project always operates in a safe and efficient manner.

Located in El Centro, California, the 400-megawatt hour standalone Big Rock BESS project provides critical reliability, resiliency, and peak load capacity to CAISO.

This RA contract will start in Summer 2025 and is fully ‘stackable’, meaning that GSF can combine it with other revenues from wholesale trading and ancillary services. The RA contract will account for 40% of the project’s revenue over its lifetime and support raising project-level debt due to its guaranteed revenues. Big Rock is also expected to receive an investment tax credit of up to 30% of qualifying capital expenditure under the Inflation Reduction Act. 

“CAMS is delighted to support Gore Street’s Big Rock project, which will play such a critical part in strengthening the flexibility and resiliency within CAISO,” said Brian Ivany, Executive Vice President of CAMS Energy Transition Services. “We look forward to a deep collaboration with Gore Street to ensure the highest level of availability and  longevity of the Big Rock BESS project.”

CAMS offers a comprehensive range of O&M services across all elements of BESS projects from modules through point of interconnection, 24/7 monitoring, advanced OT and IT cybersecurity services, and performance analytics. CAMS’ flexible delineation packages ensure the entire O&M scope is covered for both integrator and non-integrator deployed projects.
