Green energy storage project construction

Will PG&E's Green hydrogen storage tank power a Calistoga microgrid?

Are battery energy storage systems a good partner for renewables?

Battery energy storage systems supply flexible and affordable electricity when it is needed most, making them an ideal partner for renewables. The three new BESS are paired with solar, allowing them to store excess electricity and send it back to the grid at a later time.

How would a green hydrogen power plant work?

Because the electricity would come from solar and wind power, this would be “green” hydrogen, produced with no planet-warming emissions. Currently almost all hydrogen is made by using natural gas. That’s far cheaper, but the process generates planet-warming carbon dioxide.

Where can I find more information about RWE's growing green strategy?

For more information, visit americas.rwe.com. RWE continues to deliver on its Growing Green Strategy, further expanding its green energy portfolio in the U.S. with the recent completion of three new battery energy storage systems (BESS) totaling 190 MW (361 MWh), and 770 MW (2280 MWh) BESS under construction.
