In an opinion piece for The Washington Post, Senior Fellow Brian Deese and his colleague Anna Pasnau outline a potential framework for maintaining battery energy storage systems efficiently. Batteries “can reduce the need to run the expensive natural gas ‘peaker’ plants that are used only when demand is high,” Deese and Pasnau write. “And batteries can be deployed quickly—often in months, compared with the years it can take to build new stand-alone electricity generation—meaning they can meet surges in demand.”
