TransAlta to use Tesla stationary batteries in Alberta’s first large-scale commercial energy storage project

Green Car Congress

The technology allows a building owner to purchase electricity during times of low demand and low prices—after midnight, for example—store it in the on-site battery units, and then use that power during periods of high demand when prices peak, typically in the late afternoon and early evening.
