This Texas geothermal startup is storing energy in the ground
"The startup installed a ground-level storage facility that holds some 30,000 barrels (1.26 million gallons) of water, the source for which is a nearby private water well. Sage pumps water into the fracture in various volumes and measures the water’s flow rate — or how many barrels are moving through the well per minute. Computer models use the data gathered during testing to simulate how much electricity the site could discharge, like a battery, over certain periods of time."
