Ranger,

How much coal was used in filling those batteries?

Ross_audio,

If you look at the graph, 0GW.

It’s unlikely that the batteries stored power for several days. Highly likely that abundance of solar is the source.

Ranger,

I missread the graph.

They usually use Lithium, I believe

I wish the article mentioned what type of storage they use.

silence7,

It’s a mix of different battery chemistries; various Lithium-based chemistries predominate, but there are several utility-scale batteries using iron chemistries. This will change over time as some of the heavier battery types become cheaper for stationary energy storage, and as a need for seasonal storage (instead of overnight) starts to be significant.
