Njengoba kunikezwe lezi zigaba mayelana neziteshi zamandla okugcinwa kwebhethri, kungakanani okwakwazi ukugcina nokuthumela isigaba sokuqala seVistra Energy's Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility?
Context:Kusukela ngo-2021, amandla namandla ezitshalo zamandla kagesi eziqoqwe ngamabhethri amakhulu kakhulu kunezindawo zamandla kagesi eziqoqwe ngamaphampu, okuyindlela ejwayelekile kakhulu yokugcina amandla enethiwekhi. Isibonelo, i-Bath County Pumped Storage Station, eyesibili ngobukhulu emhlabeni, ingagcina 24GWh kagesi futhi ithumele i-3GW ngenkathi isigaba sokuqala seVistra Energy's Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility ingagcina i-1.2GWh futhi ithumele i-300MW. Nokho, amabhethri egridi akudingeki abe makhulu, futhi amancane angasetshenziswa kabanzi kunethiwekhi ukuze kube nokwanda okukhulu.  Kusukela ngo-2019, ukugcinwa kwamandla ebhethri kushibhile kunamandla e-turbine kagesi yomjikelezo ovulekile wokusetshenziswa kuze kufike emahoreni amabili, futhi kwakukhona cishe ama-365 GWh okugcinwa kwamabhethri asetshenziswe emhlabeni wonke, akhula ngokushesha okukhulu. Izindleko zikagesi ovela ekugcinweni kwamabhethri zehle ngokushesha, zehla ngesigamu eminyakeni emibili kuya ku-US $ 150 nge-MWh ngayinye kusukela ngo-2020.
Isigaba sokuqala seVistra Energy's Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility singagcina i-1.2GWh futhi sithumele i-300MW.
