USA Today | This state is quickly becoming America’s clean energy paradise. Here’s how it’s happening.

Hawaii pledged to be “Coal free by ’23,” and state law mandates 100% clean energy in just 21 years. Attaining that goal came closer last month when Plus Power’s Kapolei Energy Storage, an enormous 185-megawatt battery near Honolulu, hummed into full operation.

Plus Power | Rodeo Ranch Energy Storage in West Texas helped avert blackouts during latest winter storm

This week, as projected cold temperatures in Texas reached almost Winter Storm Uri level, ERCOT faced eye-popping record demand again—and 15 GW of unavailable resources according to ERCOT—but the grid didn’t go into rolling blackouts or fail. The reasons include Plus Power’s third utility-scale battery plant to go online, now the largest operating standalone battery energy storage facility in Texas: Rodeo Ranch in Pecos.

The Texas Tribune | As Brutal Heat Tests Texas’ Power Grid, Batteries Play a Small But Growing Role in Keeping the Lights On

The Texas Tribune explains how battery energy storage, including Plus Power’s Gambit Energy Storage in Angleton, helped Texas avoid rolling blackouts throughout the record-breaking summer.  “This summer, batteries have mostly sold their power to meet high demand around 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. when solar production winds down as the sun sets but temperatures are still high. Energy consultant and battery advocate Doug Lewin calls that the “white knuckle part of the evening” for ERCOT, when batteries’ relatively small contribution to the grid can still be “determinative” to meeting what has been record-high demand during Texas’ second-hottest summer ever.”

The Conversation’s Savannah Harriman-Pote on the role of firm renewable generation in the future of our grid. “On Oʻahu, Kapolei Energy Storage by Plus Power is still under construction, but it will be the largest storage facility in the state when completed, according to Polly Shaw, director of policy and communications for Plus Power… Battery storage is an important piece of the energy puzzle because it adds stability to variable energy sources, like wind and solar. Traditionally, those resources only provided energy when the wind was blowing or the sun was out.”

Elevating Energy Resilience
Phoenix set a record of 31 straight days of 110-degree temperatures in July 2023, the hottest month ever for a U.S. city. Our power grid wasn’t built for the climate crisis. The grid needs fast flexibility to adapt, namely storage. Plus Power’s 250 MW / 1000 MWh Sierra Estrella Energy Storage project in Avondale has a 20-year contract with Salt River Project (SRP). As SRP integrates more solar power, Sierra Estrella absorbs and holds lower-cost energy until demand rises. The facility will also give SRP more experience in dispatching storage. SRP expects storage projects like these to supply more than 10% of its peak-hours electricity demand in 2024, equivalent to around 56,000 homes for up to 4 hours in summer peak conditions.
