The California Energy Commission (CEC) has voted to award Form Energy a $30 million grant to support deployment of a 5 MW multi-day energy storage system in the state.
Form Energy will build the project at the site of a PG&E electric substation in Mendocino County.
Expected to come online by 2025, this will be Form Energy’s first project in California and the first multi-day energy storage project in the state.
The CEC is supporting this project through its Long Duration Energy Storage program, dedicated to accelerating the implementation of non-lithium technologies. Form Energy will use the grant funds to develop and operate the project, with PG&E providing land and an interconnection point at the substation site.
“We are excited to be building our first project in California, a place that holds special significance to many Form Energy employees as their home state, and as my home state, too,” says Mateo Jaramillo, CEO and co-Founder of Form Energy.
“Long duration, and specifically multi-day, energy storage technologies have significant potential to help California meet its decarbonization, affordability and reliability goals. We thank the CEC for this grant and for their continued leadership and we thank PG&E for their ongoing collaboration in helping to bring this project to fruition. We expect this will be the first of many multi-day storage projects to come in California.”

California Energy Commission to Award Form Energy with Storage System Grant
When I was young, I heard someone say, “The first execution this country televises will be the last one ever performed here.”
I think he was right at that time. You’d have millions of people watch that barbarism and realize that it was done in their name.
But today, we’re a far more insensitive, brutal, and stupid people that we were 50 years ago. If you doubt that, just look at the quality of the people at the top of the federal government–people like RFK, Jr., Hegseth, and Trump.
As suggested at left, the world will never forget that the launch pad for all the destruction during Trump’s second term was our nation’s failure to prosecute the criminal sociopath for his attempted overthrow of the U.S. federal government on January 6, 2021.
Had these acts of treason been dealt with swiftly, all of this would have been avoided.
The answer will probably surprise you.
