Grid scale batteries are being installed by utilities around the world, but on P.E.I, the local utility is pushing to waste $300+ million on dirty diesel turbines.
Batteries are now cheaper, respond faster, & provide further savings by avoiding fuel costs.

"We need battery energy storage systems (BESS). Maritime Electric claims renewable energy can’t stabilize the grid... Yet modern “grid-forming” batteries can stabilize voltage and frequency just like a gas plant."
PEI needs innovation... https://t.co/FFJvy9cKf5
Turning cheap daytime solar into electricity you can actually use at night just got a lot cheaper.
Battery storage hits $65/MWh – a tipping point for wind and solar.

For years, authorities have predicted gas power stations would remain necessary to back up renewables. But increasingly, this work is being done instead by large-scale batteries.
Grid batteries have rapidly moved from a supporting role to prime time.

Yeah, I can see a clear path for a not-so-distant future with self-driving cars and humanoid robots, and now understanding the utility of AI and how much power and compute it needs, I'm starting to consider as well...
Solar powered AI satellites
That's just wild.
I'm a big proponent of Project Based Learning and Renewable Energy. Having maker spaces, plus solar panels, and geothermal, is simply fantastic! Way to go PEI.

Great video from @CBC, with beautiful aerial shots of #PEI.
I've been to most of these places either playing tourist or doing POTA.
Amazing research being done by @UPEIClimate. Worth a watch!
