Google-backed storage pilot time-shifts 9.2 GWh of renewable energy

Quintrace, esVolta and LevelTen Energy designed the pilot so batteries charged during surplus renewable hours and discharged when Google's electricity demand exceeded its clean-energy supply. Hourly granular certificates tracked the environmental attributes through the storage cycle instead of relying only on annual renewable matching. The result creates a potential environmental revenue stream for standalone batteries while testing a more precise model for round-the-clock corporate clean-energy procurement.
