California has seen substantial growth in solar energy, but nighttime reliance on nonrenewable sources highlighted a storage bottleneck. The Darden Clean Energy Project, recently approved, marks a pivotal advancement in resolving this issue. Designed to eclipse the current largest battery storage system in Kern County, Darden will feature 3.1 million solar panels and utilize Tesla's advanced batteries capable of powering 850,000 homes for four hours. Situated on previously cultivated but now fallow land, this initiative represents innovative reuse of resources under a fast-track permitting program.
