A zero-emission microgrid serving roughly 5,000 people in Calistoga, Napa County, California. The distribution-level microgrid infrastructure is owned by utility, Pacific Gas & Electric Company, and is powered by the Calistoga Resiliency Center facility. The facility is a First of a Kind commercial-scale project coupling a lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) with onsite liquid hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cells to power Calistoga for up to 48 hours.
