Why storage matters
Bridging the gap on generation variability and volatility, energy storage schemes stabilise the frequency and capacity of power, delivering a secure and affordable clean energy system to consumers.
Defining the need
for battery storage
Decarbonisation of our energy system brings about an increased exposure to intermittency from distributed renewable generation assets, and an increased demand for power through the electrification of heat and transport. It means that flexibility, particularly through firm dispatchable power, is essential in the journey to a net zero grid.
Based on proven technology, lithium ion batteries ranging in capacity from 1MW to 500MW offer a modular solution that enables renewable energy to penetrate the system and deliver affordable, independent and clean energy.
