{If they figured this one out, how to store vast amounts of electricity for even a day, we wouldn't be talking about HTS wire? But I can assure you they can't store the electricity and dispatch it at a later date. }


There will be a lot of current running through the superconducting wire at any given time and it's not going to dissapate on it's own. It may not serve strictly as an energy storage device, but there will be some storage nonetheless.


By whatever method, they do mean to store energy. The excerpt below comes from the Tres Amigas
website:
.........Utilizes the latest power grid technologies, including DC
superconductor power cables, HVDC voltage source converters
and energy storage systems.....
