Batteries the size of shipping containers are delivering solar power after dark in California and helping to stabilize grids in other states. And it's only the beginning. Read our full story -- w @bradplumer.bsky.social --> www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Two charts. One shows that in April 2021 California had barely any grid-scale battery power on its gird. The other shows that by 2024 batteries were providing several gigawatts of power during evening peaks, extending the reach of solar power after the sun goes down.
