Interesting development – a titanium industrial plant is being entirely powered by a solar microgrid integrating solar panels and large-scale battery storage. They aim to start operations next year and scale up to 106 MW capacity by 2027. 

Wonder whether this is the tip of the iceberg for an increasing number of industrial applications (e.g. compute/data centres) integrating microgrids and distributed energy solutions.
