This week, at Cape Station, we saw the world’s largest enhanced geothermal energy project.

Congrats to Fervo Energy for producing flexible, firm, carbon-free energy. Each step is going deeper (15,000 ft!) and driving greater efficiency, affordability, and abundance.

How giant β€˜batteries’ in the Earth could slash your electricity bills We're wasting too much of the clean energy we generate. Reservoirs and caverns can store excess solar and wind power.

A recent study finds long-duration energy storage is essential to getting more clean electricity on the grid, and could dramatically cut power prices during times of peak demand. πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘
