The goal is to replace the traditional gas plant and help southern California to keep peak loads in control. The plant will come on line in 2021.

When manufacturers benefit, so are suppliers. Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) in with its Performance Chemicals segment consists of three product categories: Lithium, Performance Catalyst Solutions and Bromine. Lithium is developed and sold to companies for a wide range of use.
