East Point discusses need for renewable backups

27 Sep East Point discusses need for renewable backups

East Point Energy CEO, Andrew Foukal, is featured in this piece by Virginia Public Radio. Foukal says large-scale battery projects are one solution to the challenges produced by the intermittent nature of solar and wind power:

“Lithium ion batteries have been around for a long time. Most of us have cell phones and laptops that have lithium ion batteries that we sleep next to every night,” says Foukal. “But the reality is that when you have larger projects, especially in urban environments, which is an important part of where we’re headed, that’s something we need to address.”
