Primoris climbs as Arevon starts $600 million Cormorant battery project with PRIM as EPC
Primoris Services (PRIM) is rising after confirmation it is the EPC contractor for Arevon Energy’s $600 million Cormorant Energy Storage Project in Daly City, California. The 250MW/1,000MWh project has started construction and is expected to employ about 175 workers at peak, supporting renewables backlog momentum.
1. What’s moving the stock
Primoris Services shares are moving higher as investors react to fresh project confirmation in utility-scale energy storage: Arevon Energy has begun construction on its Cormorant Energy Storage Project in Daly City, California, and Primoris’ Renewables group is named as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor. The project is described as a 250 megawatt (MW) / 1,000 megawatt-hour (MWh) build tied to a $600 million investment, putting a large, visible storage job in Primoris’ active execution queue.

2. Why it matters
Large battery-storage EPC awards are a key demand signal for contractors positioned in grid modernization and energy transition work. The Cormorant build adds another high-profile storage reference for Primoris’ renewables platform and reinforces the company’s ability to win and execute utility-scale solar-and-storage infrastructure as developers accelerate buildouts to support reliability and renewable integration.

3. What to watch next
Key near-term questions are whether Primoris quantifies the award in backlog updates, how quickly revenue ramps as construction progresses, and how procurement and schedule execution affect profitability on a project of this size. Investors will also watch for incremental storage and renewables awards and any commentary on 2026 outlook and project timing. (arevonenergy.com)
