California continues to be at the center of energy transition initiatives, with numerous projects including microgrids, battery storage, and sustainably built houses coming online; the latest is a $31 million grant to the Viejas Tribe of Kumeyaay Indians to fund a long-duration energy storage system.
The system will provide renewable backup power to the Viejas Tribe and support statewide grid reliability, according to California Energy Commission (CEC). The grant is one of the largest ever to benefit a tribal government, the CEC says, and will demonstrate the potential for long-duration energy storage in the state.
