The Ventura power plant is a 2 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage system located in Bristol County, Massachusetts. The plant, which began operating in 2022, is owned and operated by Ventura Drive Dartmouth Solar 1, LLC. The facility utilizes both solar photovoltaic technology with a fixed tilt tracking system and a battery energy storage system (BESS). The BESS has a storage capacity of 5 MWh and a duration of 5 hours, employing lithium-ion battery chemistry.
Ventura's primary fuel source is listed as MWH, reflecting its reliance on electricity from the solar array. In its most recent year of operation, the plant generated 1,479 MWh of electricity, resulting in a capacity factor of 8.4%. The plant operates within the ISO New England Inc. balancing authority and the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) NERC region. In terms of size, the Ventura plant ranks 110th out of 126 power plants in Massachusetts and 1119th out of 1205 plants nationally.
