Electric cooperatives served by the Tennessee Valley Authority are welcoming a grid-scale battery storage system the federal utility will install to facilitate lower-emission energy resources at a reasonable cost.

TVA recently announced plans for its first owned and operated battery energy storage system that will supply up to 40 megawatt-hours of electricity, enough to serve more than 10,600 households for three hours.

The federally owned power provider expects to have the energy storage system online in 2022.

“Tennessee’s electric co-ops are advocates for innovative energy projects like this one,” said Trent Scott, vice president of corporate strategy for the Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association in Nashville.

“Advancements in battery storage technology has the potential to make the energy that co-ops deliver more reliable, affordable and sustainable.”

I wonder if it would be cheaper to have the batteries at the domicile.

Crazy morning.

Woke up to the sound of high winds outside at ~5 AM. Got a weather alert on my phone that there would be sustained 35-45 mph winds, with isolated gusts as high as 80 mph, and the wind advisory extends until 2 PM Tuesday.

My wife texted on her commute that the sky was red in Irvine.

I was dropping kids off at school, the 11 yo's teacher told me they didn't have power [but they were taking the kids inside anyway]. Then 10 minutes later I get a call saying school is canceled. Great... So now he's home with me. 

Santiago Canyon is apparently on fire, with extreme winds, and probably ~25 miles south from there my wife sent me the attached picture from her office in Newport Beach.

Hearing of a lot of mandatory evacuations, because there are homes all through those canyons and with these winds it could escape the canyons pretty easily too. 

Thought we were out of fire season. It even rained a little yesterday.

We finally have some fall temps. High of 51 today. 

The highs were still in the 80s and 90s up until two days ago.

Yep. Looks like decent areas of Irvine are under mandatory evacuation, but luckily it's far enough north of here that I don't think we'll have anything to worry about in Mission Viejo...
