Enel Reveals Plan to Add 1GW of Batteries to US Renewables Fleet by 2022

Enel announced a dramatic scale-up of its U.S. energy storage ambitions on Tuesday, saying it will add 1 gigawatt of storage capacity to its renewables fleet by 2022.
The first entry in the battery build-out has already begun construction in Texas, for delivery by summer 2021.
