Energy storage

Energy storage is indispensable for a reliable energy system. This is already the case today, but as we increasingly rely on energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar in the future, its importance will only grow. Energy storage makes it possible to store energy when supply is abundant and make it available when demand is high.

 

 

What is the role of energy storage in energy security?

Energy storage is essential for safeguarding energy security, both now and in the future. By storing energy, we can balance fluctuations in energy supply and demand across timescales ranging from an hour to an entire season. In this way, energy storage helps ensure continuity of supply and supports a reliable energy system.
