Gas peaker plant replaced in California by Tesla megapack batteries
This is a big project. Nice to see battery back up provided. This is where I think Tesla can clean up. Replacing peak plants which are only required a couple times a day is something that batteries are ideal for.

Well I am not sure if the government has a hand in this or not. Given the rolling black outs we had before, I will wait to see what happens before giving a decision on whether or not it was helpful.

Well I am not sure this will solve the rolling blackouts. This could help the local arena in CA but the CA grid needs a lot of work. There is no way they are going to be able to keep it going without a lot more power generated.

Oh we could use some of those here
We have cheap hydro but in the dry season sometimes we have to light up the gas plants and the prices go up

Yeah the battery storage for peak plants makes the most sense to me. That allows for energy storage when the generation is high (and price low) and then reverse it when everyone gets home from work.
