&gt; Kelly also said that the economics of the Nevada project will be aided by recent pricing trends at CAISO, which has been seeing negative pricing from over generation from wind power at night and from solar power in the morning. Under those circumstances, the ARES project could be paid to take power off the grid, Kelly said.<p>Its cheaper to keep running a Wind Turbine and PAY to put energy onto the grid, than to actually power-off a Wind Turbine. If those Turbines stop spinning, its very, very difficult to get them spinning again.<p>But someone needs to &quot;take&quot; the energy. This ARES project is going to be paid in <i></i>both<i></i> directions. They profit as Wind &#x2F; Solar farms pay for the privilege for their excess energy to be stored somewhere, and then they profit later in the day as they sell the energy back to the grid.
