What began in Australia is starting to happen here in the U.S. When coal plants retire there is a huge grid connection point going to waste. More and more of those nodes on the grid are now installing a LOT of storage. The perfect location for them!

Wharfie, The 20 MW / 80 MWh project is the largest active battery energy storage facility in Virginia, large enough to power the equivalent of 5,000 homes. Do the math. 80 MWh divided by 5,000 homes equals 16 kWh. A typical home consumes 30 kWh of electricity per day. Probably more during Virginia's hot and humid summers. That battery facility looks pretty good for smoothing out spikes and valleys of renewable energy, but this is REALLY small scale. Virginia would need to scale this by a thousand-fold. Tenchusatsu
