Economic and Fiscal Impact Analysis: Roadhouse Energy Storage Project

This analysis identifies significant economic and fiscal benefits from constructing a new battery energy storage system in California.

The Roadhouse Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Project developed by NextEra Energy Resources represents a major investment in California’s energy infrastructure, supporting the state’s transition to renewable energy while delivering measurable economic and fiscal benefits. This project will improve grid reliability, contribute to local job creation, generate substantial property tax revenues, and drive significant positive economic ripple effects throughout the City of Ontario and San Bernardino County. Once completed, the project is expected to increase the county’s total energy storage capacity by an impressive 46%.

By bridging renewable energy supply and demand, the facility represents a practical step toward strengthening San Bernardino County’s energy infrastructure and achieving California’s clean energy goals.

Key Highlights

Construction Expenditures

The project is projected to generate $79.8 million in direct local spending during the construction phase alone.

Job Creation

Construction activity is expected to support 123 jobs, which will contribute $20.6 million in labor income to the local economy.

Economic Output

The project’s construction is projected to generate $84.5 million in economic output locally.
