A 130-megawatt industrial battery storage facility is proposed next to our homes, parks, and elementary school. We're neighbors, naturalists, and a few engineers who actually read the filings.

The situation

What's happening, in plain language.

Jupiter Power — a merchant energy trader based in Austin, Texas — wants to build a 130-megawatt industrial lithium-ion battery facility on roughly 45 acres of land south of Fisher Creek Park. Here's where things stand.

The project

130 megawatts, next to our homes

A utility-scale lithium-ion battery facility on about 45 acres — 0.7 miles from Cascade View Elementary and immediately south of Fisher Creek Park.

Who's behind it

A wholesale energy trader, not a utility

Jupiter Power is an Austin-based merchant energy company. They buy power cheap and sell it expensive. Profits go to institutional investors. Risk stays here.

Current status

Refiled, not finalized

Jupiter Power resubmitted through King County after the earlier withdrawal. Local review is active again, and a state-level EFSEC process remains available as a bypass. We need to stay organized.
