First sodium-ion battery storage station at grid level opens with cells that can be charged in 12 minutes

[Redaktion]

Clean electricity generation paired with the first grid-level sodium battery energy storage system can bring costs down to just $0.028 per kWh. The 10 MWh storage capacity is executed with sodium-ion cells that can be charged in just 12 minutes.

You're missing a few zeros, it's $.03 per Whr, not per kWhr

Is $0.03 the purchase price of the energy capacity or the actual energy generation cost? Journalists need to learn how to explain the figures they use. A footnote with the actual equation seems appropriate because if you can't understand the equation used to derive the figure then you really shouldn't be writing or reading the article anyway.
