Xcel Energy is set to introduce the public to its latest venture, an iron-air battery storage project, through a virtual open house. Situated near the Sherco Generating Plant, this new technology boasts the ability to store energy for days on end, as reported by Sherburne County.
Slated for December 4, from 3-4 p.m., the virtual meeting is a chance for Xcel to dive into how this cutting-edge system can harness more renewable energy while also improving the power grid's reliability, especially when it comes to the whims of extreme weather, according to Sherburne County.
With the system's multi-day energy storage capability, Xcel anticipates it will lower reliance on traditional power sources that are often costlier and less kind to our environment. Those keen on learning more or wishing to attend can access details through the Sherburne County website.
