On this World Environment Day, we celebrate the community, the land, and the team that brought our Goleta Energy Storage project to life by premiering this mini-documentary on the project. Working in partnership with local officials to produce tax revenues from an unused urban parcel - while bringing reliable clean energy to a region - are emblematic of our mission to decarbonize America's electric grid and create a better world through battery energy storage. #WorldEnvironmentDay #CleanEnergy #Decarbonization #GenerationRestoration #BatteryEnergyStorage City of Goleta #Goleta

Texas is handling hot weather and record energy demand without disruptions, thanks to the addition of new power resources like large-scale battery storage. That means homes and businesses can count on their air conditioners running to keep cool. With more than 3 GW of batteries powering the Texas grid earlier this week, the state did not call for residents to conserve energy like it did in August 2023, despite an all-time record demand. We're eager to contribute to this added reliability in ERCOT through our 220 MW Houston-area project, slated to come online in summer 2025.

GridStor is proud to support the LevelTen Energy Scholars program, an initiative aimed at bringing more women and other young professionals traditionally underrepresented in the energy industry into our sector. Each year's student cohort spends the summer in the Pacific Northwest working in paid internships that include real-world project experience in the clean energy industry. Last week, we welcomed the 2024 cohort - 16 students selected from among 400 applicants across the United States and around the world - into the GridStor office to learn about working in the #energystorage industry. Meet the future difference-makers on the path to clean and reliable power!

Big batteries like ours are keeping power grids reliable and air conditioning flowing this summer as states like California battle record-setting, weeks-long heat waves, notes Ari Plachta in The Sacramento Bee. Sustained periods of triple digit temperatures have necessitated mandatory blackouts and flex alerts in recent years, but the addition of 10,000 MW of battery power since 2022 - enough to power 10 million homes for a few hours - gave grid operators the resources they needed this summer to deploy more energy to homes using extra power to stay cool. California relies on more grid-connected batteries to meet peak demand than anywhere else in the world.
