According to Young, "Energy storage is emerging as a key energy resource" at various levels of the energy grid. It holds "incredible potential" when paired with "baseload, reliable, emissions-free nuclear power".
Called long-duration energy storage, or LDES in industry parlance, the concept is the key to maximizing the value of renewable energy. When sun and wind are abundant, solar and wind farms tend to produce more electricity than a grid needs. So storing the excess for use when these resources are scarce just makes sense.
The partnership with Energy Dome, announced in July, marked Google's first investment in long-duration energy storage. “We've been scanning the globe seeking different solutions,” says Ainhoa Anda, Google's senior lead for energy strategy, in Paris.
All this excitement is based on Energy Dome's one full-size, grid-connected plant in Ottana, Sardinia, which was completed in July. It was built to help solve one of the energy transition's biggest challenges: the need for grid-scale storage that can provide power for more than 8 hours at a time.
