Butler Warner Generation Battery Energy Storage Site Goes On-Line

 Strata Clean Energy (“Strata”) announces the completion and activation of the Butler-Warner Generation battery energy storage project. The Fayetteville Public Works Commission chose Strata Clean Energy to perform the EPC on the Butler-Warner Generation BESS (“Butler-Warner”) in its efforts to make electricity more affordable to the residents of Cumberland County, NC.

Butler has a 1.75MW / 8.8MWh capacity and utilizes Tesla Megapack battery technology. The system provides peak shaving capabilities of 300 hours per year, reducing peak energy costs by up to $400,000 annually.

“PWC and Strata Clean Energy worked very well together on this project. The project was completed under the pre-agreed time frame and on budget,” David Deschamps, Electric Engineering Manager, Fayetteville PWC said. “Furthermore, considering the complexity of the project there were no major issues at the final commissioning. PWC is very pleased with the outcome and would recommend Strata Clean Energy to any other Utility.”

Strata Clean Energy is a leader among North Carolina municipalities having performed development and EPC on other storage projects in the state.

Markus Wilhelm, Chief Executive Officer of Strata Clean Energy commented, “In addition to developing large utility battery projects across the United States, we have extensive experience with municipalities in North Carolina. Strata commissioned BESS projects in Greenville and Wilson and understands the need for local municipaties to improve grid resiliency and reduce peak power costs for its customers. We appreciate our partnership with the Fayetteville PWC and look forward to future projects with them.”

The Fayetteville PWC will announce a ribbon cutting ceremony at Butler in the coming weeks to mark this milestone and celebrate its committment to a clean energy future.

Cynthia Butler Leads Readers Back Toward the Light of the Lord in her Book “Shouting into the Darkness”

Knoxville, TN – WEBWIRE



“Shouting into the Darkness” is an engrossing read that will inspire readers to seek God amid their despair. Cynthia Butler uses a straightforward and strong writing style to deliver a message full of conviction and a passionate warning to everyone.

 

Cynthia recognized that what made the Dark Ages the Dark Ages was the lack of education and the rampant religious authoritarianism at the period while watching a show about Europe’s Dark Ages. Cynthia recognizes that we are experiencing dark times once again because we are unaware of the truth that God is our light and that we should cling to him as we walk through the darkness. We’re also perplexed because religious dictatorship has taken on a new, deceptive guise: prosperity gospel. Cynthia’s goal is to awaken Christians from their slumber by interspersing the book with hard-hitting, biblically-based realities.

 

“The WORD was written to bring us out of this darkness, to keep us as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. To teach us how to throw out a lifeline for others in need. As well as teaching each of us how to stop circling the mountains of fear to cross over to the Promised Land given to them.”—Cynthia writes.

 

The book is both controversial and educational. It encourages readers to consider the current status of the world and its spiritual deterioration from a different perspective. “Shouting into the Darkness” is a road map to God’s light.

Jimmy Butler returns vs. Magic after missing 8 games with tail bone injury



After missing the last eight games with a tail bone contusion, Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler returned to the lineup in the Heat’s 93-83 victory against the Orlando Magic on Sunday.


Butler notched a double-double in his return, scoring 17 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, and added four assists and three steals to his total tally. Overall, Butler had missed 12 of Miami’s last 13 games because of his injury.


The five-time All-Star has been plagued by the injury this season, missing a total of 15 games so far in 2021-22.  Butler re-injured his tailbone on Dec. 6 in a 105-90 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, scoring 10 points before leaving for the locker room midway through the third quarter.  Butler favored his back after a hard fall in a missed driving layup early in the first quarter.


His return couldn’t come at a better time as Miami was without its star guard Kyle Lowry, who entered the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols.


Butler, 32, is averaging 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists this season. The Heat are 21-13 this season but are well within range of several higher seeds in the Eastern Conference. Although Miami is the No. 4 seed, it is 1/2 game behind the Milwaukee Bucks for the No. 3 seed, one game behind the Chicago Bulls for No. 2 and 2 1/2 games behind the Brooklyn Nets for the No. 1 spot.
