Google And Salt River Project Partner On Energy Storage

Google has partnered with the Salt River Project utility on a long duration energy storage initiative.

As part of the research partnership, Google will provide funding for part of the project being developed for the power grid.

Google is migrating toward 24/7 carbon free energy for its global data centers and offices. This is one step in that direction.

Why is this important? Long duration energy storage will likely need to play a key role in our future energy system. In the long run, it can stabilize grids, increase reliability, and help lower emissions.

To meet the growing demands of data centers and other large load customers, we will need a healthy mix of energy sources and storage options going forward.
