Positive Future #741 (Feature photo – Older Battery Storage Power Station in California – By Ysc usc – Own work, CC BY 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=64315693)
Renew Economy journalist Giles Parkinson brings us the story of a pending $300 million battery in Australia to help upgrade its electrical grid. Like the earlier 100MW Tesla battery installed to stabilize the Australian grid a few years back, this new plan is 6 times bigger. Big battery storage allows for 100-fold faster uptake of power spikes and 100-fold faster distribution.
The fallout of this kind of technology and development can impact everyone in that uses electricity and provide new paths for decentralization of power.
