Energy Estate acquires San Luis Industrial Complex

The SLIC is strategically located and is slated to receive significant funding support through the US$12.6 billion public-private partnership, the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES).

Situated next to the San Luis Reservoir in the northern San Joaquin Valley region of California, SLIC will integrate large scale behind the metre solar energy to produce green hydrogen for transport and other local industries and attract new energy intensive industries to the region. The project will leverage the State’s energy policies and robust infrastructure to establish a clean industrial ecosystem which is initially focused on the integration of renewable energy production, storage, and the development of renewable fuels for local supply in Northern California, from the Central Valley through to the Bay Area.

ARCHES is California’s initiative to accelerate renewable hydrogen projects and infrastructure and is a public-private partnership between the State of California and the US Department of Energy. California Governor Gavin Newsom has spearheaded this hydrogen initiative though his bold climate policies and his mandate to the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) to develop California’s Hydrogen Market Development Strategy. Energy Estate looks forward to working with the Newsom Administration in improving air quality, public health, and leveraging hydrogen to accelerate clean energy-driven industrial economic growth throughout California, to include decarbonising its transportation and industrial sectors.

Energy Estate brings to the US its experience in developing clean infrastructure and industrial estates – attracting manufacturing, renewable fuels, and other industries into the region and helping to support existing critical industries such as resources and agriculture. Strategically located along the I-5 corridor between Los Angeles and San Francisco, SLIC will accelerate the development of renewable fuels, critical infrastructure, and sustainable job growth, showcasing the potential of green hydrogen as a crucial component of the global energy transition.

“We are excited to see the SILC project play a key role in California’s transition to a clean, renewable driven economy,” said ARCHES CEO, Angelina Galiteva. “Together with our project partners, ARCHES is making significant strides in accelerating renewable energy hydrogen development, driving innovation, and delivering economic and health benefits to communities across the state.”

Vincent Dwyer, Co-Founder and CEO of Energy Estate, stated: “The partnership with ARCHES represents a significant milestone in the pursuit of our clean industrial hub strategy in North America, building on the hubs and ecosystems we have been developing in Australia, New Zealand, and other markets. It will deliver a new vision for the delivery of low-cost clean energy enabled industrial precincts, facilitating energy resilience for the Central Valley and supporting renewable fuels, digital infrastructure and the agriculture industry to deliver enduring economic regional development.”
