Views: 554
Lake Tahoe’s Squaw Valley ski resort, and Alpine Meadows,  plan to go
. . . 100% renewable by the end of this year, and
. . . get a cleaner, more reliable and resilient grid,
. . . all at no added cost.

Their Utilities, will supply the ski resorts with
. . . 100% solar, wind, hydropower and other renewables, to buy, and install,
. . . 40 MWH Tesla batteries, providing the resorts backup power, along with
. . . 900 homes in Olympic Valley for
. . . 4-6 hours.

In addition to providing clean backup power,
. . . the batteries will provide reliability, and resilience,
. . . in the event of bad weather, such as:
. . . . . . high winds,
. . . . . . excessive snow fall, and
. . . . . . heavy rains,
. . . which have caused frequent blackouts, and brownouts,
. . . in the last few years.
