DEEP DECARBONIZATION OF ENERGY
Replacing fossil fuel-based power generation with power generation from wind and solar resources is a key strategy for decarbonizing electricity. Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability.

U.S. ELECTRICAL RESTRICTIONS
The United States is entering a period of severely constrained electric supply. Demand is rising — including anticipated electric load from artificial intelligence, the need to shutter all coal facilities, and the limits to transmission from the renewable resources (wind and sun) 0f the West — and it will overwhelm the system unless it is substantially augmented with new generation.
