"The only application here would be for energy storage, such as times when there is excess renewable energy from sources like solar and wind."
That's the plan.

California Renewables and the Mystery of Negative Power ...Aug 9, 2018

Call it the curious case of the negative power price. On a sunny day in California, perhaps in the early afternoon, the state’s nearly 15,000 megawatts of solar generation is running at nearly full capacity. Power use isn’t necessarily high enough to take advantage of the situation, but with electricity streaming into the grid, it has to go somewhere and wholesale electricity prices drop below zero. In this situation, major power users, like factories, are literally paid to take the electricity.

This little-known fact about #renewables is crucial! The more wind and solar you add to the grid, the less value they add because we have to pay more for the second system providing backup power when the wind doesn't blow & the sun doesn't shine.

Renewables have a declining value the more renewables you add to the grid. This cheap renewables argument does not hold true since Germany Denmark all of some the highest electricity bills in the world.
