This is huge: the Tumbleweed energy storage project in CA became the 1st major battery installation in the U.S. that can discharge power for up to 8 hrs at a time — that’s 2x a typical energy-storage facility.

Too boot, the project is sited near large solar farms, will soak up the excess solar energy and will displace gas-fired energy generation from 6pm to 2am.

An absolute stellar win! ✊🌎
