Energy storage involves preserving a quantity of energy produced for later use. Operating a storage plant optimises the feed-in of energy into the grid and helps to balance it.
On a global scale, the increase in demand for electricity, coupled with the resulting rise in prices and political unrest in several producer countries, is creating uncertainty over supply. In this context, electricity storage is becoming a crucial geostrategic asset.
“Energy storage enables the efficient use of surplus production, releasing it to the grid during periods of higher demand, which significantly supports system stability, particularly as the share of renewable energy increases.”
Marek Lewandowski, Head of PV & Storage Poland
