Sunrun announces CalReady power plant has more than quadrupled in size

Sunrun (RUN) announced that its CalReady power plant has more than quadrupled in size as the summer heat begins to stress the state’s energy grid. More than 56,000 Sunrun customers’ solar-plus-battery systems-totaling approximately 75,000 batteries-will provide critical energy to California’s grid during times of high energy prices, heat waves, and other grid emergency events while simultaneously lowering energy costs for all ratepayers. “Sunrun is leading the transformation of the energy grid with a customer-led revolution to a more reliable, energy independent way to power their homes while at the same time being a solution to help other Californians who rely solely on the grid,” said Sunrun CEO Mary Powell. “The expansion of CalReady highlights our increasing role as a critical energy provider and underscores the system-wide value we’re delivering to ratepayers, utilities, and the grid.”
