⚡"Solar Plus Battery giant is fully operational in California.

Eland Solar-plus-Storage Project combines 758 MWdc of solar with 300 MW/1,200 MWh of battery storage.

That's energy abundance & dominance, but it kills gas burning.

So, petrostate politicos attack wind & solar."

This article uses MW (power) when referring to battery capacity. Battery capacity is power x time. Surely they should be using MWh? It’s a glaring lack of literacy for an article about how fantastic this new battery storage is.

@Nonilex
Even though wind is obviously “variable”, coupling with batteries or other long-term storage provides a reliable service.
Generally I believe that the levelised cost of wind+storage is still less than that of gas, and is obviously even better at rapid dispatch to meet instantaneous demand

This is interesting and looks quite promising.

There seems to be countless articles and reports covering new battery chemistries that promise to shake up the Lithium ion world. Not much about non-hydrogen based fuel cells.

Construction starts in Switzerland for the world's largest battery storage facility.

The world's largest battery storage facility is being built in a new technology center in Laufenburg (TZL) in the Swiss canton of Aargau.

The redox flow battery, also known as a liquid battery or wet cell, will have a total capacity of more than 1.6 GWh and an output of over 800 MW.

Construction of the TZL began at the start of this week.
