Why battery storage?
Battery storage is an essential enabler of the energy transition, helping energy systems match green energy generation to demand.
By capturing and storing excess clean energy produced when there is an oversupply and then dispersing energy when there is a shortage or additional demand, batteries can ‘time shift’ the delivery of clean, dispatchable power.
Thanks to digital, sub-second response times, they also offer multiple additional services which help manage and balance electricity grids around the world.
This enables more renewable energy capacity to connect into the grid, supporting the digitisation, electrification and decarbonisation of economies around the world, while securing supply.
