Why Energy Storage is Essential for a Green Transition
Energy storage plays a crucial role in adding high levels of renewable energy to the grid and reducing the demand for electricity from inefficient, polluting power plants.
Energy storage systems offer several other benefits, too. For one, they can make power grids more flexible. In times of low demand, excess electricity generated in power plants can be routed to energy storage systems. When demand rises—during a heat wave, for example—stored energy can be deployed to avoid straining the grid.
Battery energy storage systems provide several benefits to individuals and businesses: Cost Savings: Companies and homeowners can significantly lower their electricity bills by optimizing their energy consumption. Alternative energy savings methods such as peak shaving can greatly reduce overall energy costs for facilities or homes.
These days, the primary reason that most home and business owners add energy storage is for the resiliency benefit. Although backup power is the primary reason people install energy storage today, storage systems can provide financial benefits in some scenarios.
Energy storage can save operational costs in powering the grid, as well as save money for electricity consumers who install energy storage in their homes and businesses.
