Energy Vault Holdings Inc is beginning construction on a hybrid green hydrogen plus battery energy storage system in California, the Calistoga Resiliency Centre, which will provide 293 MWh of clean energy to power downtown Calistog during potential power shutoffs due to wildfire risks. The project, approved by the California Public Utilities Commission, is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2024 and will be operated by Energy Vault under a tolling agreement with PG&E.
