The dam only runs about 33% of the time so 8 hours a day and the batteries run nearly every day so just 3 months of additions is nearing half a grand coulee dam of electricity output. Or two Coulee dams a year in grid battery production.

The existing batteries in Texas and California have already delivered a coulee-dam-year (21TWh) so far in 2026.
