This project isn't going to change that at all! It doesn't produce any net power, it just produces power during peak consumption and draws power during off peak times. As BLFG said, it actually consumes 20% more power than it produces. Stuff like this doesn't help us one bit with the net global warming and pollution effects on the environment. It is just a means for a company to make money, providing additional power to the grid during peak consumption at a profit by drawing power to run the system when the electricity costs less.
