1st Grid-Scale Tesla Energy Storage System In Europe Officially Opened In UK

[Morgen]

[QUOTE]The ‘grid scale’ battery installation from Camborne Energy Storage was formally opened by Energy Minister, Baroness Neville Rolfe this morning on site in Somerset.

Storage technologies, like the batteries used in Somerset, have great potential to support electricity generated from renewable technology such as wind and solar farms. It does this by storing energy from these farms so they are able to supply generation on to the electricity network when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun isn’t shining. These new batteries located with a solar farm will allow enough clean, low carbon electricity to be delivered to the electricity network for 500 homes when it is needed.
