The Energy Industry Innovators
A privately held developer and operator of energy generation and storage facilities across California — designing, permitting, building, and operating dispatchable power with the patience of four decades.
Six disciplines under one roof — development, permitting, construction, operations, maintenance, and the research that keeps a forty-year-old fleet relevant for another forty.
Fast-start peaking and reliability generation, 45–98 MW class, sub-10-minute starts. Engineered for grid stability in a renewables-heavy mix.
Read MoreEnhanced Gas Turbine architecture — gas turbines and battery storage dispatched as one asset, with roughly sixty percent fewer start emissions.
Read MoreStandalone battery storage and co-located solar, carried from greenfield through commercial operation, interconnection, and dispatch.
Read MoreCEC, AFC, CPUC, and three air districts. Twelve filings since 1982 — every one of them reached commercial operation.
Read MoreIn-house operations across the fleet, manned around the clock. The same engineering team from design through thirty years of service.
Read MoreThe first commercial integrated hybrid gas-battery facility in the United States, with active research in hydrogen blending and long-duration storage.
Read MoreEight operating facilities across three California air districts. Every megawatt developed by Wellhead is still operated by Wellhead.
Forty years. One operator on the radio, from groundbreaking through retirement.— On running a 600 MW fleet with fifty people
Selected recognition for engineering, emissions performance, and innovation in dispatchable hybrid operation.
