How it Works
Battery energy storage systems balance the load on the electrical grid by safely storing excess energy from the grid when excess energy is generated, then discharging this stored energy back to the grid when electricity demand is high.
This helps utilities optimize power generation resources, reduce costs, and ensure a reliable supply of electricity to customers.
Project Location
The Blacksmith Energy Storage Project is located in the unincorporated Franklin area of southern Sacramento County, California.
