Utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) are transforming the US power grid by: 🔋Adding reliability when the demand is high. 🔋Increasing flexibility when the grid is under pressure. 🔋Boosting sustainability by storing and dispatching clean electricity. More insights on BESS here 👇

battery storage is huge and growing everyday

So there are enough clean energy projects in development today to meet 80% of America’s total energy demand, but don’t have the transmission infrastructure to transport all that clean energy from the places where it’s generated to the places where we live, work, and play.     To support a 21st-century economy, we need a 21st-century grid — and that means we need to expand and improve our transmission infrastructure. That’s why today we’re teaming up with @ACORE, @CleanEnergyGrid @CleanEnergyGrid, @EnviroLeagueMA, @NWF & @NECEC for a new campaign we’re calling TRANSMISSION POSSIBLE 🎬⚡️    Learn more at transmissionpossible.org.
