Hydrostor building up to 1 GW compressed air storage to meet California’s shifting resource needs
4 May, 2021
We are developing 1GW of long-duration energy storage in California using patented compressed air technology.
The projects, with up to 500 MW capacity each, are expected to come online in 2026, aiming to meet California’s clean energy goals as it moves away from fossil fuels.
The state’s interest in long-duration storage is growing, especially after the retirement of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant.
Our compressed air technology uses off-peak renewable electricity to compress and store air, providing a cost-effective solution for large-scale, long-duration storage.
However, the challenge lies in familiarizing buyers with the technology’s benefits and ensuring timely project delivery.
