How will a new energy storage facility work?
The new facility will store energy from renewable sources like wind and solar. During high renewable energy generation periods, surplus electricity is used to heat hydroxide salt, which turns into a molten state. This molten salt, held at extremely high temperatures, stores massive amounts of energy. Animation showing how the facility will work.
