The majority of the electricity produced in Colorado,
. . . currently comes from coal and natural gas,
but, they are increasingly adding renewable energy sources, and
. . . energy storage could facilitate the use of the latter, and
. . . make the overall grid more efficient and stable.

Xcel Energy, an electric utility company,
. . . operating across the Midwest, Colorado and several other states,
. . . requesting bids for major renewable energy, and
. . . storage projects an energy storage capacity of this magnitude,
. . . could certainly help the grid make better use of its current power capacity, and
. . . rely less on costly and polluting peaker plants.
Tesla’s bidding on it.

Tesla’s battery system in South Australia, made around
. . . $1 million in just a few days back in January, and
. . . it is already eating away at ‘gas cartel’s’ profits,
. . . according to a recent report.
