Stormwater & Site Development

The Wizard project is uniquely designed to operate during extreme environmental conditions that occur in coastal environments such as extreme temperatures, high winds and water, dust and corrosion, and is built to remain operational and reliable during adverse weather events.

The equipment planned for the Wizard Energy Storage facility is rated for Category 5 hurricane conditions, and the site is located outside of the 100- and 500- year flood plains.

The existing site is 20 feet above sea level and the containers will be raised to sit at 25 feet to ensure that the project equipment and all access roads will withstand hurricane event flooding, including extreme flooding circumstances similar to Hurricane Harvey.

Energy storage offers landowners unique ways to use their property efficiently, bring in additional revenue and serve their community and state by supplying additional megawatts to the grid.
