In 1949, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) began construction on the Moss Landing Power Plant. Five natural gas and oil powered steam units were built during the 1950s. Producing 613 MW, commercial generation started in 1950.
In 1964, the construction of two additional units began (6 and 7), with two new 500-foot (150 m) stacks. These two units produce 750 MW each for a total of 1500 MW, with boilers that are 180 feet (55 m) tall. They employ a newer technology using supercritical steam at 3,600 psi (25 MPa). This will be the site of a new battery storage power station for grid battery storage of over 567MW - 2,270MWh of power, the world's largest, by the end of 2019.This includes a Tesla Megapack-based 183MW - 730 MWh system colocated at the adjacent substation.
