Kilroy Realty Corporation and Advanced Microgrid Solutions to build 11 MWh Hybrid Electric Building® Fleet

"At KRC, we pride ourselves in offering our tenants work environments that lead the world in innovation, efficiency and sustainability," said Sara Neff, Senior Vice President, Sustainability at Kilroy, "Equipping our buildings with the most advanced energy management systems allows us to be part of the solution to today's biggest energy challenges while maintaining world-class services to our tenants and guests."    

"AMS is excited to work with Kilroy Realty Corporation on this project," said Susan Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer of AMS. "Kilroy Realty's emphasis on sustainable, innovative building design and operation makes their buildings the perfect place to showcase AMS' cutting-edge energy management platform."

AMS will design, install and operate advanced energy management systems with 11 MWh of energy storage at five of Kilroy's class A commercial office buildings in El Segundo, Long Beach and Irvine. The systems, ranging in size from 1500 kWh to 3000 kWh each, will continuously optimize energy resources and automatically control costs by shifting the building to battery power based on price and demand response signals from Southern California Edison. SCE, one of the largest grid operators in the U.S., will be able to tap into KRC's Hybrid Electric Building® fleet to reduce demand on the grid as part of a groundbreaking plan to build a smarter, more resilient electric grid.
