A massive hydrogen tank is set to arrive in Calistoga early Monday morning after a slow and steady journey through Napa County. The tank, measuring 234 feet long and 17 feet tall, will be delivered to the Calistoga Resiliency Center to enhance the microgrid’s capabilities.
The city officials have announced that the tank is expected to reach its destination between midnight and 6 a.m. on Monday. This overnight delivery is planned to minimize disruptions and ensure the secure transportation of the tank to the end of Washington Street in Calistoga. Drivers are advised to avoid specific routes during this period to accommodate the tank’s arrival.
The hydrogen tank will be a crucial addition to the Calistoga Resiliency Center, providing power during potential blackouts when PG&E shuts off power lines to prevent wildfire risks. The journey of the tank has been carefully coordinated, with the convoy traveling through various cities in California before reaching Napa County.
During its transit on Friday, the tank encountered a challenge at a tight turn outside Browns Valley, where temporary adjustments were made to allow the vehicle to continue its journey. The truck carrying the tank has navigated carefully to avoid potential obstacles along the way.
Overall, the arrival of the hydrogen tank signifies a significant step in enhancing Calistoga’s resilience and preparedness in the face of wildfire threats. The installation of the tank at the Resiliency Center will further support the community’s efforts to ensure uninterrupted power supply during critical times.
