California's big batteries kick in!

Here is a snapshot from yesterday (Monday/August 15) displaying charging and discharging (five-minute increments) from operating utility-scale battery storage facilities in the California ISO (CAISO). The average discharge from hour 17 through hour 20 was a phenomenal 1,738 MW with a peak discharge of 2,455 MW at the beginning of hour 19. That is a significant contribution!
