ST. PAUL, MN—Yesterday Tesla Motors announced the development of personal home energy storage technology, which people can use to store energy from other sources and help shield their home from any regional blackouts, as well as a large-scale version that could revolutionize energy technology for years to come.
Representative Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, issued the following statement:
“Minnesota is ready to harness the new technology and cost savings that will result for consumers and businesses as a result of advances in energy storage technology,” Garofalo said. “The Job Growth and Energy bill passed off the floor earlier last month added energy storage to the Renewable Energy Standard eligibility list meaning companies can receive credit for investing in this exciting technology that will lower costs for ratepayers.”
