#California’s grid passed the reliability test this #heatwave. It’s all about giant batteries
#CAISO last issued calls for voluntary conservation two years ago, during a 2022 bout of #extremeheat. Since then, roughly 11,600MW of new #renewableenergy sources have come onto California's #electricity grid. That includes 10,000MW of battery power, enough to power 10 million homes for a few hours. California is now home to the most grid batteries in the world outside of China.
