New Energy World: With record-breaking wind energy production, now is the time to add long duration energy storage

Our CEO, Richard Butland, appeared in ‘New Energy World’ the magazine of the Energy Institute this week.

New Energy World embraces the whole energy industry as it connects and converges to address the decarbonisation challenge. It covers progress being made across the industry, from the dynamics under way to reduce emissions in oil and gas, through improvements to the efficiency of energy conversion and use, to cutting-edge initiatives in renewable and low carbon technologies.

In the article titled ‘With record-breaking wind energy production, now is the time to add long duration energy storage’ Richard explains the UK’s needs to add a significant long duration energy storage capability to its electricity system to maximise the use of wind power and reduce reliance on gas and coal-fired power.

“As our targets become greater and timelines shorter the moment has come for us to focus the spotlight on a different kind of energy diversification, one that leverages all the UK’s renewable energy sources today with an eye toward the country’s energy security tomorrow: long duration energy storage.”
