It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid. As utilities shifted to more reliable alternating-current systems, they phased out these costly backup batteries.
