> $600k for 18 kw? I know it's a pilot project, but what accounts for that monumental cost? Seems like the cool opportunity here is to inject power right into the railway catenary and avoid costly interconnection, but the article makes it sound like it's just a regular grid tied system.

Also, southern Maine NWS site is in Gray, not Portland.
Thermal energy storage doesn’t get enough attention. The world’s thermal storage facility currently being built in Finland will be able to store a whopping 90GWh - that’s 30x more than the largest electric storage facility in operation today. interestingengineering.com/energy/caver...
The Varanto project design comprises three caverns, each measuring over 900 feet (300 m) long, 131 feet (40 m) high, and 65 feet (20 m) wide.
