As more renewable energy comes online, there’s a growing need to balance intermittent supply hitting the energy networks.

Utility-scale battery storage has become the most cost-effective way to manage often unpredictable energy flows from solar and wind farms, ensuring power is available when required while reducing consumer energy pricing.

“More storage capacity in a smaller footprint will mean a lower land requirement, which can increase the capacity of project and also open up new areas that previously were deemed to be land constrained, enhancing the potential growth for battery storage,” says Stirling.
