Elevating the role of energy storage on the electric grid. Energy storage is critical for mitigating the variability of wind and solar resources and positioning them to serve as baseload generation. In fact, the time is ripe for utilities to go "all in" on storage or potentially risk missing some of their decarbonization goals. Article.
