What is the Columbia Energy Storage Project?

Sign up for WPR's email newsletter. The Columbia Energy Storage Project would store excess energy from the electric grid by converting carbon dioxide gas into a compressed liquid form and then converting that liquid back into a gas, powering a turbine to generate electricity, according to the Department of Energy.

Is a new energy storage system coming to Wisconsin?
