Southern California Edison has contracted for 180 MW of behind-the-meter batteries under a 2014 plan to replace the capacity lost from the closure of the San Onofre nuclear power plant. The 27 MW aggregation is the first large-scale behind-the-meter battery project for PG&E, but not for the state as a whole.

The energy transition isn’t just sounding the death knell for fossil fuels. According to some experts, it has also revealed flaws in an idea that has bugged some academics for decades: As we move to less energy-dense fuels, could we end up without enough surplus for society? One could reduce our EROI to 2.5:1
