Energy storage:
soaking up the excess energy
A vital bridge to a reliable renewable energy future. Imagine them as giant rechargeable batteries for the electricity grid.
Pumped hydroelectric storage, the most mature technology, works like a giant water battery and was pioneered in nearby Eryri!
We can store excess energy generated when production exceeds demand and release it when production is low.
We can cut emissions by enabling a higher penetration of renewable energy sources and reducing the need for fossil fuels.
It provides backup power during outages, enhancing energy security for critical infrastructure and services.
