> The next project would be Willow Rock Energy Storage Center, located near Rosamond in Kern County, California, with a capacity of 500 megawatts and the ability to run at that level for eight hours.
Their California battery will be 4GWh capacity with a $1.5 billion cost, which is $375/kWh. Their Australian one will be 1.6GWh for $415 million USD, working out to be $260/kWh. Both are more expensive than lithium ion, so I wonder what the case is for it.
