Keep Informed, Be Informed
Welcome to Keep Informed, your go-to source for the latest insights on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and their growing role in our energy future. While we’re currently rallying to halt a Lithium-Ion BESS installation near precious agricultural farmland—where risks outweigh rewards—don’t count this technology out just yet. BESS systems, with their promise of grid stability and renewable energy integration, are poised to become an unavoidable cornerstone of tomorrow’s infrastructure. Join us as we explore the merits, the challenges, and the delicate balance of where and when these powerhouses belong. Stay sharp, stay informed!
