The proposed project would generate more than twice the amount of electricity produced by the giant 1930s-era hydroelectric dam in Nevada: 9.2 A separate, existing 490-mile transmission line—traversing Utah, Nevada and California—would transport electricity from the Utah energy storage facility to the Los Angeles area.'

Coal still supplies more power in the US than anything else, with natural gas next. However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output. The first eye-opener for large scale solar was the Austin Energy PPA last year that was priced at 5 cents.

Nevada utility NV Energy’s largest battery energy storage system sits on a former coal-fired power plant site and will save customers a lot of money. The new BESS is on the site of the former 557-megawatt (MW) coal-fired Reid Gardner Generating Station, which was demolished in 2019. Energy Vault will maintain the system.

The new Lathrop facility is likely a dramatic increase in production rate, considering Giga-Nevada, which produces numerous Tesla products , was previously the only production location for the Megapack. In the post shared on Instagram, Tesla states the new facility can produce over 10,000 Tesla Megapacks a year.

Solar leads from the front. Just like in 2023, solar power continues to dominate the scene, making up the largest share of new capacity. In the first half of 2024, 12 GW of solar energy came online, accounting for a whopping 59% of all new capacity. California, Texas, Arizona, and Nevada were the hot spots for these additions.
