The electricity systems we have developed over the last century are now facing urgent need for redesign. The threat of climate change, an increasing share of intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind and the rapid adoption of electric vehicles all pose challenges to existing electricity systems globally. Energy storage has become an essential part of the new electricity mix, providing flexible power supply, reducing costs and ensuring reliable services for end-users.
In a future low-carbon energy system, storage will be needed at all points of the electricity system. CEL’s system can deliver benefits all the way along the electricity value chain, at generation, distribution and consumption.
