California Blackouts = Need for Battery Storage

What are people saying about California’s blackouts?

• California lacks the battery capacity to deploy renewable energy
• “the state’s grid integrated more solar power, which without sufficient battery storage can be less reliable than the fossil fuels that drive global warming,” according to Bloomberg.

The hurdles to prevent blackouts with battery storage:

• It won’t be cheap up to $19 billion
• “But more critically, there aren’t enough of these massive batteries to go around right now.”
