One of the major challenges in switching the energy supply to climate-friendly technologies is balancing energy demand and generation in the short and medium term. The national and European climate protection targets call for a rapidly growing share of renewable energies. In order to maintain the security and stability of the electricity grids and to dampen electricity price peaks, large volumes of electricity storage systems are required for buffering energy in the range of seconds to hours. The storage power plants developed, built and operated by ECO STOR fulfil precisely this purpose.
The technology based on lithium batteries represents an optimal balance between the decisive characteristics of longevity, efficiency, costs and feasibility on an industrial scale.
