☀️ Two kick-off windows. Multiple time zones. Different grid moments. A summer matchday across the U.S. can mean very different things for the energy system. Around midday in the West, strong sunlight can coincide with rising cooling demand. That is where solar plays its part: our 812 MW Copper Mountain Solar site in Nevada generates power during sun-rich daytime hours. Later in the day, as evening demand picks up and solar output starts to fall, flexibility becomes more important. At our Bright Arrow project in Texas, 300 MW of solar PV is paired with 100 MW / 200 MWh of battery storage, helping shift solar-generated electricity into later hours. ▪︎ Midday: solar contributes when sunlight is strong ▪︎ Evening: storage can support the shift as solar output falls ▪︎ Behind both: flexibility to manage changing demand and generation A tournament across time zones is also a reminder that the energy system has to move with the day.
