Understanding grid-scale battery storage

Tom Brandt to establish a legal framework for grid-scale battery energy storage facilities. Across the country and now in Nebraska, interest in grid-scale battery energy storage is growing. A 200-megawatt battery energy storage facility can be built out and deployed in as little as two years.
