As modeled by NREL, wind and solar energy would provide 60%–80% of generation in the least-costly electricity mix in 2035.

CPS Energy to explore novel pumped hydro technology

San Antonio-based CPS Energy signed a 15-year commercial agreement with Quidnet Energy for a 1 MW, 10-hour energy storage facility using geomechanical pumped storage technology. Following initial deployment, the municipal utility has the option to expand the project to 15 MW. The technology is based on conventional drilling technology used in the oil and gas industry as well as off-the-shelf
